In 2015, India set itself a very ambitious task of expanding its installed base of renewable energies by more than five times to 175 gigawatt (GW) within seven years (by 2022). It was envisioned that 60 GW would be contributed by wind power. In 2018, the objective was revised upwards to 227 GW...

Germany changed renewable remuneration for wind power from a fixed Feed-In Tariff (FIT) to a floating Market Premium Scheme (MPS) in 2012. One aim of this adjustment was to better align the supply of generated wind electricity with the demand for it, e.g. through more system-friendly wind...

The deployment of onshore wind power involves spatial sustainability trade-offs, e.g., between the minimization of energy system costs, the mitigation of impacts on humans and biodiversity, and equity concerns. We analyze challenges arising for decision-making if wind power generation capacity...

Das Werk umfasst drei Aufsätze, die sich mit der Umsetzung der Energiewende und des Atomausstiegs in Deutschland befassen. Im ersten Aufsatz wird die Wirtschaftlichkeit verschiedener Windturbinentechnologien in quadratisch aufgebauten Windparks analysiert. Im zweiten Aufsatz wird ein...
