Government support for renewable power in Spain has varied over time. After fostering a boom in the first decade of the 2000s, public support dried up in the early 2010s before making a reappearance in the last several years. This paper details and explains the fluctuating political fortunes of...

In the transition to a renewable energy system, the occurrence of low-wind-power events receives increasing attention. We analyze the frequency and duration of such events for onshore wind power in Germany, based on 40 years of reanalysis data and open software. We find that low-wind-power...

We consider a farm of Kite Power Systems (KPS) in the field of Airborne Wind Energy (AWE), in which each kite is connected to an electric ground generator by a tether. In particular, we address the problem of selecting the best layout of such farm in a given land area such that the total...

The electricity price is the sensitive signal of the supply-demand balance and some other market incidents. The analysis of the price data can provide plenty of the market information. It is helpful for the participants to understand the market and improve future strategies. However, most of the...

In this article, a comparative analysis is made between three statistical methods (Taguchi's Orthogonal Array Testing method, Monte Carlo and Two-Point method) by integrating the uncertainty of primary sources of renewable generation in systems of electric power. The modeling of the Institute of...

Wind power as a renewable source of energy has numerous economic, environmental, and social benefits. To enhance and control renewable wind power, it is vital to utilize models that predict wind speed with high accuracy. In the current study, for predicting wind speed at target stations in the...

The article presents the principled model for managing the selection of wind power generation technologies enabling business organizations to transform rationally their fossil fuel-based business models towards greater renewable energy reliance. The model is aimed at complex improvement of...

This study sheds light on how recombination of different kinds of knowledge changes along the technology life cycle. From a theoretical point of view, the cyclical technology life cycle model is extended to account for the influence of recombination of different kinds of knowledge in the...

Purpose: The objective of the paper is to highlight the volatility of wind energy production, the renewable source of energy whose output is the most difficult to predict due to its dependence on climatic factors. The present research helps to analyze the risks assumed both by the producers who...

In this paper, the problems linked to renewable wind power energy production are analyzed and a model to define the variables in which the wind power business plan relies on is proposed. The viability plan shows that the shareholder's cash flows obtained in this kind of projects make it possible...
