On the one hand, wind power production is necessary for decarbonizing the electricity sector. On the other hand, we risk replacing one environmental problem with other environmental problems, that is, stopping climate change in exchange with increased loss of pristine land and biodiversity. The...

Weltweit sind Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft mit mehreren krisenhaften Entwicklungen konfrontiert – der langsam abklingenden Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise, der seit Fukushima erneut befeuerten Energiediskussion sowie dem globalen Klimawandel. Alle Krisen gehen an die Wurzeln der...

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...
