people who generally hold an opinion about wind turbines' negative effects, regardless of whether they believe or deny that such effects exist, would like to have an input on renewable energy development in thei
Dr Katovich found 173 stories in major American news outlets reporting the supposed negative effects that wind turbines had on birds in 2020, compared with only 46 stories discussing the effects of oil-and-gas wells. Wind turbines might look dramatic. But their effect on birds is not....
companies increasingly buy back surplus electricity produced by small domestic wind turbines. The construction of wind farms is not universally welcomed because of their visual impact, but any effects on the environment from wind power are generally less problematic than those of any other power ...
With the rapid development of wind power, there are increasing concerns about the negative ecological effects of its construction and operation. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the effects of wind farms on flying fauna (i.e., birds and bats) or climate change separately from com...
There is an increasing concern about the negative effects of climate change on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human society as a whole3. Concerns about the impacts of climate change on society have triggered shifts in energy systems of several countries, among them Germany, with a high ...
We quantified the effects of optimization relative to a baseline scenario, which limits the capacity of PV and wind power plants to 10 GW without electricity transmission and energy storage and assumes that the growth rate of PV and wind power is constant during 2021–2060 without optimizing th...
In recent years, wind power is experiencing a rapid growth, and large-scale wind turbines/wind farms have been developed and connected to power systems. However, the traditional power system generation units are centralized located synchronous generators with different characteristics compared with wind ...
Wind farms may have positive and negative impacts on fish and, certainly, these effects would cascade up the food chain to have either positive or negative impacts on birds and marine mammals that consume them. Some of the potential effects from offshore wind energy installations may be as foll...
In order to predict wind power quickly and accurately and reduce the negative impact of wind power instability on the grid, this study proposes an ultra-short-term wind power prediction model based on financial technical indicators and parameter optimization algorithms. Firstly, historical wind power ...
Changes in wind drought severity, which combine both the effect of power density and weather variability, are statistically significant and negative in some regions over the oceans in the Tropics (between −1 and −10%), Central North America (between −1 and −3%), the Amazon (between...
