Purpose: This paper aims to present how the project-based learning (PBL) methodology was implemented in the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon Unibertsitatea in the second year of the Engineering in Industrial Organisation degree to help integrate statistical knowledge related to the design of...

The expansion of wind power has the potential to make a major contribution to the mitigation of climate change. While wind power generates positive externalities at the global level by reducing carbon dioxide, it also generates negative externalities at the local level, such as noise pollution...

The spatial distribution of future renewable capacities is a key determinant for developing appropriate grid expansion plans. This is particularly relevant for onshore wind energy. Existing studies mostly extrapolate future installations based on existing capacities and available sites. As wind...

This report distils experiences from established offshore wind markets into key success factors to help emerging markets build successful offshore wind sectors. It is designed to share international good practice while recognizing the unique contexts of each country. The key factors described...

On 10 June 2011, the district council of Ahrweiler in the north of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany took the decision to meet 100% of the district's electricity needs through renewable energy by 2030. Yet the share of renewable energy in the district's overall electricity...

As tensions between the West and China deepen, critical minerals and materials for strategic technologies, including for low-carbon energy, have become one of the battlegrounds. China's centrality to the supply of some of these critical minerals and materials has prompted Western governments to...

This paper aims to delve into some of the vulnerabilities associated with the EU's energy transition, using wind energy as a case study for broader issues affecting the renewable industry as a whole. The first part assesses the current state of wind energy in the EU. The second part examines the...

The objective of the "Study on Best Practices in Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) for Offshore Wind Power" (hereinafter referred to as the "Study ") is to utilise the outcomes of the previous studies commissioned by the EU Delegation in offshore wind, in informing our interlocutors of the...

Europe's marine environment faces increasing demands from maritime sectors and this briefing addresses the often-conflicting demands on the marine space. This briefing highlights the need for informed planning to meet climate goals and safeguard marine biodiversity.

We document the socioeconomics of wind power expansion in Sweden using two metrics. First, we compute the difference in socioeconomic status (SES) between residents exposed to wind power (0-2 km from the closest turbine) and those not exposed. For each site, the metric is computed ten years...

Article 15c of the revised RED, obliges EU Member States to "adopt one or more plans designating [...] renewables acceleration areas for one or more types of renewable energy sources". The identification of areas suitable to be designated as renewables acceleration areas has to follow the...

Wind energy is defined as a key renewable energy source that harnesses the power of wind to generate electricity. This is achieved through the use of wind turbines, which can be installed onshore or offshore. Wind energy plays a crucial role in the EU's strategy to achieve its renewable energy...

The development of a country cannot be realized only through the amount of energy it produces and its industrialization. In a country where its people are left homeless and poor, and its cultural and natural riches are destroyed, the electricity produced is not a measure of development on its...

The Colombian power market is hydro-dominated since 67% of the power produced comes from hydro-power sources. In addition, it has thermal power from natural gas and coal, and in the last years, alternative energy sources such as wind and solar have been introduced, although so far their share is...

Wind-power generators around the world face two risks, one due to changes in wind intensity impacting energy production, and the second due to changes in electricity retail prices. To hedge these risks simultaneously, the quanto option is an ideal financial tool. The natural logarithm of...

Support from local citizens is important for the scale-up of renewable energy. We investigate the impact of utility-scale wind and solar parks on employment, GDP and public finances in Brazilian municipalities using a difference-in-differences design with matching. We find a positive employment...

In order to efficiently mitigate greenhouse gas emissions at the global level, renewables have emerged to help build a less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy system worldwide. The competition between renewables and conventional fossil fuel power technologies remains critical for...

This article aims to shed light on the contextual embeddedness of the diffusive dynamics of onshore wind energy in Argentina by employing the integrated MLP-TIS framework. Based on the methodology of constellation analysis, this paper analyses the various stages of development of onshore wind...

Accurate prediction of offshore wind power generation is essential for efficient power scheduling and grid integration. This study introduces an innovative hybrid forecasting approach to address variability in power output due to different climatic conditions and challenges in measuring offshore...
