Wind turbines offer significant environmental benefits but also create negative local externalities, such as noise and visual pollution, which can lead to local tensions and community resistance against the energy transition. This paper examines negative and positive externalities associated...

Iceland's significant onshore wind energy potential remains untapped, with no operational wind farms despite recognized opportunities for over a decade. Two wind energy projects, approved under Iceland's Master Plan for Nature Protection and Energy Utilization - a legally enshrined...

Weibull distribution is extensively used for wind resource assessment in fitting wind speed frequency distribution because of its reliability and simplicity. Its precision is highly dependent on the parameter estimation methods and different methods may result in varied results. This paper...

Accurate wind power forecasting is crucial for the effective scheduling and scientific management of wind energy, enhancing the safety and reliability of power grids. To handle the inherent intermittency of wind energy, forecasting methodologies have evolved from traditional statistical models...

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...

Offshore wind is an important component of Europe’s energy and climate targets, but the EU and UK are falling short of their 2030 installation goals amid regulatory delays and rising costs. Meanwhile, Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are competing in European tenders and...

This study assesses the incentive compatibility of different elicitation formats for estimating willingness to accept (WTA) in the field. We assess the convergent validity of standard and theorydriven (i.e. based on mechanism-design theory) versions of the double-bounded binary choice (DB) and...

Small-scale wind turbines are essential energy sources for hospitals because they have several advantages, such as lower maintenance costs and the possibility of customization. However, small-scale wind energy projects often have high capital requirements. Many factors affect the performance of...

Property transaction prices are widely regarded as the best measure of property value, but are sometimes unavailable. Using data from the Netherlands and New York, we analyze whether list prices and assessed values are reliable substitutes. In the cross-section, both proxies strongly predict...

Viet Nam has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This will require increasing diversity in Viet Nam's electricity supply, a transition to renewable electricity generation, and a reduction in the dependence on coal for electricity generation. Offshore wind holds significant potential...

Viet Nam's rapidly growing economy has created increasing energy demands, with significant untapped offshore wind resources located in shallow waters near population centers. While several near-shore projects were previously developed under a Feed-in-Tariff system, no far-shore installations...

Over the past few decades, there has been significant development in actions aimed at global energy transition, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The energy sector plays a significant role in this endeavor, contributing 76% of the world's total emissions. Considering...

Deployment of new onshore wind power faces challenges due to growing resistance, prompting increased interest in the development of effective deployment strategies. One approach is to examine historical deployment to identify factors shaping its distribution within a country. Current literature...

In the North Seas region, a coalition of 9 countries expressed the ambition to quadruple their offshore wind capacity from 30 GW to 120 GW by 2030, and to then more than double the capacity between 2030 and 2050 to reach 300 GW. Regional cooperation to achieve these ambitions can be organized in...

The transition to clean energy is both a climate imperative and a materials challenge. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the supply chain for wind turbines, a cornerstone of the EU's energy transition strategy. Significant dependencies are found for rare earth elements including...

With its potential to provide a clean, abundant, and cost-competitive source of electricity, wind power is playing an increasingly important role in powering homes, industries, and transportation systems. To support the growth of the wind energy sector and enhance the competitiveness of the EU,...

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...

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...

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 rise of societal goals like climate change mitigation and energy security calls for rapid capacity growth in renewable electricity sources, yet citizens’ support is put to a test when such technologies emit negative local externalities. We estimate the impact of wind turbine deployment on...

The North Sea has a significant potential for offshore wind energy, making it important in the European energy transition. However, it presents challenges, particularly regarding required changes to marine spatial planning (MSP), impacting the ecological and social systems. This study explores...

Wind turbines play an important role in the green transition towards a pollutionfree generation of electricity. Yet, the deployment of new wind turbines faces increasing local and political opposition. The public discourse routinely goes beyond wind turbines' established negative impact on house...
