Wind power has become “mainstream” in many regions of the country, and is no longer considered an “alternative” energy source. Wind energy has become increasingly competitive with other power generation options, although the impacts of the current financial crisis are uncertain. Wind ...
In addition to special challenges, wind development on tribal land has some opportunities including: no federal tax liability, good transmission access, integration of wind with hydropower and preferential access to the emerging federal green power market. The third section examines these opportunities. ...
In the 21st Conference of the Parties held in Paris in December 2015, China pledged to peak its carbon emissions and increase non-fossil energy to 20% by 2030 or earlier. Expanding renewable capacity, especially wind power, is a central strategy to achieve these climate goals. Despite greate...

Studies on social acceptance of wind power projects typically evaluate wind power in isolation, or as a choice between wind and no wind. However, at a societal level, the choice is not limited to whether, how or where wind turbines should be sited, but w
Summary This paper describes different methods to estimate the uncertainty of wind power forecasts in terms of prediction intervals. The single methods and an ensemble average model have been applied to shortest-term wind power forecasts (forecast horizon = 1, 2, 4 & 8 h) of 62 spatially distr...
Alternative Energy/ Wind Power English Europe's Wind Power Boom Faces New Challenges Dec 13, 2024 at 07:14 | ZeroHedge Europe is starting to reach its limit when it comes to wind power. Countries like Denmark and Sweden, once leaders in expanding offshore wind capacity, are… ...
One of the intending solutions to this problem is the adoption of energy storage. This paper examines the state of the art energy storage technology options that are capable of mitigating wind power intermittency on the grid and their challenges. It also highlighted the existing policies that ...
Wind droughts, or prolonged periods of low wind speeds, pose challenges for electricity systems largely reliant on wind generation. Using weather reanalysis data, we analyzed the global distribution of and trends in wind droughts using an energy deficit metric that integrates the depth and duration ...
Vertical-axis wind turbines are great candidates to enable wind power extraction in urban and off-shore applications. Currently, concerns around turbine efficiency and structural integrity limit their industrial deployment. Flow control can mitigate thes
