Nigeria is the world’s largest black nation with over 145 million people. With an ailing power sector, the country has been unable to meet the energy needs of its population. As such, this paper investigates the impact a wind turbine will have on the country. An economic, environmental and...

The research in this paper reveals how organising the innovation ecosystem can enable the achievement of the aim for innovation and competitiveness. The research was conducted from June 2014 to May 2015 using a qualitative deductive approach among operation & maintenance (O&M) actors in offshore...

Wind energy-related employment has been surging recently in Germany: it rose from 9,200 in 1997 to 90,000 in 2007 and is estimated to be 112,000 in 2020. The industry particularly emerged in coastal, northern Germany. Recently big hopes are particularly set on the offshore wind energy industry....

Employing a continuous-time real options modeling framework, this paper scrutinizes the incentives to invest in German offshore wind farms. The focus of the analysis is the mode of action of the German feed-in tariff system for offshore wind energy deployment. The numerical results reveal that...

This paper presents an offshore wind resource assessment and offshore wind power feasibility analysis on the western coast of Thailand using coupled mesoscale atmospheric and microscale Computational Fluid Dynamics wind flow modeling, along with a climatic database. Offshore wind maps at...

Digitalization complementing offshore wind energy is a topic of interest for both researchers and practitioners. As part of a broader research on offshore wind logistics optimization, this paper focuses on how digitalization can be further developed to support logistics in the particular domain...
