Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a global phenomenon. They are particularly evident in expansive urban centers such as Bangkok, Thailand's capital. Recent research has highlighted the escalation of temperatures and poor ventilation due to severe urbanization. Nevertheless, scant attention has been...

Accurate forecasting results are crucial for increasing energy efficiency and lowering energy consumption in wind energy. Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have great potential in wind energy forecasting. Although the literature on this subject is extensive, it lacks a comprehensive...

The increasing construction of offshore wind farms and the expected improved profitability call for a better efficiency in offshore logistics. The purpose of this study is to propose scheduling and operations improvements for logistics to support offshore wind construction. The study conducts a...

Current trends in energy supply and use are unsustainable – economically, environmentally and socially. Without decisive action, energy-related greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions would lead to considerable climate degradation with an average 6°C global warming. We can and must change the path we...

Wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) are currently the fastest-growing sources of electricity globally. A "next generation" phase of deployment is emerging, in which wind and solar PV are technologically mature and economically affordable. The success of variable renewable energy (VRE) is also...

Numerous studies and events over the past several years have stressed the importance of eliminating barriers to trade in renewable forms of energy and the technologies used to exploit them, as part of a broader strategy to reduce dependence on more-polluting and less secure energy sources. This...

The report shows how China, already the world’s largest wind market, could reach 1,000 GW of wind power by the middle of the century, an achievement that would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5 gigatonnes per year, or roughly equivalent to the combined CO2 emissions of Germany, France and...

Wind energy is perhaps the most advanced of the “new” renewable energy technologies, but there is still much work to be done. This energy technology roadmap identifies the key tasks that must be undertaken in order to achieve a vision of over 2 000 GW of wind energy capacity by 2050....
