Understanding the spatial variation of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind is
fundamental for identifying potential areas for the development of this technology. With this …

The current work presents a review of wind turbine reliability studies. Thirteen reliability
studies were identified in the scientific literature, highlighting the lack of public reliability …

Recent years have witnessed an enormous growth of wind farm capacity worldwide. Due to
the wake effect, the velocity of incoming wind is reduced for the wind turbines in the …

Constrained by the expansion of the power grid, the development of offshore wind farms
may be hindered and begin to experience severe curtailment or restriction. The combination …

The basic objective of wind farm layout optimization is to maximize the energy produced by
wind farms. However, when wind turbines are arranged in a limited space like an onshore …

Layout optimization of wind farms constitutes an important and challenging task in complex
terrain. This is especially due to the complex interactions of the boundary layer flows in …

Floating offshore wind, far less constrained by water depths than bottom-fixed, has great
potential in the Mediterranean Basin. The levelised cost of energy (LCOE) is arguably the …

In this paper, to help handle wind farm optimization problems, an original analytical three-
dimensional wind turbine wake model is presented and validated. Compared with existing …

In urban areas, when it comes to renewable energy, governments, business owners, and
residents typically have few choices. In specific urban applications, distributed solar …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) wake models with a self-similar Gaussian shape of velocity
deficit are highly accurate in predicting wind-turbine wakes. To better leverage their …
