Wind power generated by wind has non-schedule nature due to stochastic nature of meteorological variable. Hence energy business and control of wind power generation requires prediction of wind speed (WS) from few seconds to different time steps in advance. To deal with prediction shortcomings,...

Geospatial potential for harvesting wind energy is not an easy task to perform in conditions of deficiency of accurate data in remote and large areas (macro to medium locations). There are different methodologies available to identify the most suitable location for the installation of wind power...

An increase in market concentration (MC), which refers to a large share of few and large firms in a given sector, is a main concern for governments all over the world since it is believed to affect competition levels and, thus, lead to inefficiencies. It has also captured the attention of...

A new multi-objective method called Multi-Objective Electric Charged Particles Optimization (MOECPO) is proposed to optimally place wind turbines and at the same time select their optimal heights in an extensive area of wind farm considering several scenarios. This method permits the...

This study analyses the assessment of the relative efficiency of electricity generation of 78 wind power companies in 12 selected European countries. The basic purpose is to identify the factors that improve the efficiency of wind power companies as important producers of renewable electricity....

For future low-carbon energy systems with high shares of renewable energy, temporal representation becomes the dominant factor that impacts the model outputs and analysis conclusions; therefore, relevant and complex modelling approaches are required. We present and apply specific methodology for...

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...

Since 2016, Taiwan has pursued an agenda of energy transition and a nuclear-free homeland by 2025, with an increase in renewable energy from 5% in 2016 to 20% in 2025. Furthermore, Taiwan has significantly accelerated its offshore wind power (WP) targets since (i.e., 5.7 GW by 2025) from two...

The purpose of the study is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) power systems for environment-friendly electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at five different locations in China. The HOMER Pro 3.14 software using...

Due to its location in arid and semi-arid climates, Iran is one of the countries with the highest water stress, and the need for a study that states a solution for using salt water is felt more than ever. For the first time in this paper, an indirect method is presented to identify areas prone...
