Green parties are commonly seen as strong proponents of wind power. This paper presents an alternative view, examining data from the highly decentralized institutional setup in Sweden where approval of wind power applications is delegated to local governments. I demonstrate that the approval...

As energy demands for clean energy mount to meet international and national climate goals, there remains constant tension in the trade-off for where to siting large-scale offshore wind farms. Using data from a choice experiment (CE) to elicit preferences for large-scale, 3600 megawatts (MW) of...

Rare earth elements (REEs) have many uses in the energy and defence industries, among others, and demand for them is set to increase rapidly in support of the low-carbon energy transition. Although the REEs are not geologically rare, China dominates the supply chain, accounting for 70% of global...

Local resistance towards wind power is a central challenge for the energy transition, implying that legally imposed compensation schemes for nearby residents may become more prevalent in the near future. In this study, I use GIS-coded data on detached residential buildings in Sweden to simulate...

Der Windenergieausbau an Land wird durch Proteste vor Ortoft verzögert oder gar verhindert. Finanzielle Teilhabe wird in diesem Kontext als Maßnahme diskutiert, um lokale Akzeptanz zu fördern, indem sie das empfundene Gerechtigkeitserlebnis positiv beeinflusst. Aufbauend auf dem Konzept der...

Wind energy projects represent, currently, a valid opportunity to support United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7. However, these projects can appear financially unattractive considering the unfavorable meteorological conditions, uncertain electricity market price, uncertain market demand,...

Globally, governments increasingly rely on auctions to advance renewable energy. This paper studies the design of wind farm auctions and evaluates the impact of price guarantees and subsidies on auction efficiency, government revenue, and renewable-energy production. While the theoretical...

A circular economy requires managing and reducing the environmental and social impacts of products and materials across their lifecycle from production to end-of-life, including clean energy technologies. The unprecedented growth in wind turbine (WT) deployment in Australia as a clean energy...

The local negative externalities of wind turbine establishments have been documented in research, often with the help of hedonic methodology and property values. In this study, we used mixed methods, including hedonic methodology, propensity score matching, and the difference-in-difference...

In this paper, we present an innovative electricity spot price model, wherein the prices explicitly depend on the realized wind power production. The proposed arithmetic multi-factor approach captures numerous stylized facts of empirical spot price behavior like seasonal variations,...

Latin America has the cleanest energy matrix in the world and is expected to have 70% of its electricity consumption generated from renewable energies by 2030. Colombia is an energy-rich country with an abundance of oil and gas reserves, although these are declining. Colombia also has a large...

Background: Dual-level stochastic programming is a technique that allows modelling uncertainty at two different levels, even when the time granularity differs vastly between the levels. In this paper we study the problem of determining the optimal fleet size and mix of vessels performing...

Offshore wind energy holds promising potential as an alternative source of energy for a country like India, which continues to be land deprived and faces increasing difficulty in acquiring land for energy. While some scholarly efforts have focused on the Indian context, there is a dearth of...

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...

In line with the Dutch Climate Agreement, multiple energy transition scenarios have been constructed for 2030 and 2050. To various extents, they project a shift towards decentralized and intermittent renewable electricity generation (wind and solar) and widespread deployment of electric vehicles...

An argument sometimes used to support renewable energy is that it may contribute to job creation. On the other hand, these technologies often face local opposition. On the case of Denmark, the country with the longest experience with wind power, the authors examine whether the installation of...

This roadmap provides strategic analysis of the offshore wind development potential in the Philippines, considering the opportunities and challenges under different, hypothetical growth scenarios. The goal is to provide evidence to support the Government of the Philippines in establishing...

We apply Open Street Map to identify available placement cells and Global Wind Atlas to determine average wind speeds on a 500 x 500m grid in Germany (1.3 million cells). Minimum distances to obstacles such a roads and buildings leave 535,000 potential placement cells. We calculate...

The focus of this study was to learn from the operational variabilities in offshore wind projects by investigating the overall delays in offshore wind projects related to arrival time (flow) or job time (process-time) variability. This research was motivated by the general understanding that...

Energy generated from land-based wind power is expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation of the economy. With the looming biodiversity and nature crises, spatial allocation of wind power cannot, however, any longer be considered solely a trade-off against local disamenity costs....

Purpose: Currently offshore wind farms are built in areas with high vessel traffic like the German Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). During the building phase and the operational phase a high amount of vessels will pass these offshore wind farms in close proximity and thus there is a risk of...

On the one hand, wind power production is necessary for decarbonizing the electricity sector. On the other hand, we risk replacing one environmental problem with other environmental problems, that is, stopping climate change in exchange with increased loss of pristine land and biodiversity. The...

Offshore wind energy systems are generally regarded as variable baseload technologies and can therefore serve a crucial role in a net-zero or carbon-neutral electricity supply grid. With the spate of growing commercial and government-policy interests in offshore wind, it is important to examine...

Offshore wind energy holds promising potential as an alternative source of energy for a country like India, which continues to be land deprived and faces increasing difficulty in acquiring land for energy. While some scholarly efforts have focused on India's context, there is a dearth of studies...

With the on-going expansion of renewable energy generation, short-term trading, notably in intraday markets, becomes increasingly relevant to cope with forecast updates for renewable infeed's. In this context, we develop a multivariate model of wind forecasting trajectories in order to support...

Wind power is crucial to decarbonizing electricity markets but is intermittent, which complicates operational management. We assess the welfare impact of wind power on the Spanish electricity market during the years 2009-2018. We estimate modest adverse effects of wind intermittency on...

Integrating wind power incurs more incidences of transmission congestion and demands more generation fleet flexibility, which may impose a negative effect on how regional production is allocated among fossil fuel electricity generators (i.e., regional allocative efficiency). Exploring exogenous...

The massive expansion of wind power and solar PV is the primary strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in many countries. Due to their variable generation profiles, power sector flexibility needs to increase. Geographical balancing enabled by electricity grids and temporal flexibility...
