too. Yet that is not the impression you would get from reading the news. Dr Katovich found 173 stories in major American news outlets reporting the supposed negative effects that wind turbines had on
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 their neighbourhood, in contrast to people who do not hold any opinion about the effects...
both onshore andoffshore windpower. However, there are some disadvantages of wind power, such as casualty of birds and bats, noise pollution, visual effects, adverse impact onmarine fisheryand mammals, and negative consequences on land ecosystem. In order to reap the benefits of wind energy in...
The wind power, corresponding to the inner product of the wind stress and the ocean current, is small and positive (red) when the wind is aligned with the current and large and negative (blue) when the wind is in the opposite direction of the current. This results in a negative wind ...
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...
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...
The stator and rotor active powers are negative, and this is because the machine is operating as a generator and running at super synchronous speed; i.e., the rotor is rotating at a speed faster than the stator winding with negative slip. The stator and rotor are delivering active power ...
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...
Electric power generation by wind turbines is commonly regarded as a key technology in addressing some of the greatest environmental and resource concerns of today, namely man-made climate change and other negative effects of air pollution, and security of energy supply. Among other factors, strong...
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 ...
