The distribution of the diameter of beech forest stands were investigated using terrestrial sample plots. Further, the biometrical parameters of tree diameter series were analyzed. The parameters of the diameter distribution functions were estimated and the distribution functions were fitted....

Wind power potentials of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region have been statistically analyzed based on the hourly measured wind speed data in four islands. The hourly and monthly wind speed and wind power density are assessed to have remarkable variations, and the Weibull distribution function...

Energy and climate policies are usually seen as measures to internalize externalities. However, as a side effect, these policies redistribute wealth between consumers and producers, and within these groups. While redistribution is seldom the focus of the academic literature in energy economics,...

As wind power penetration grows, the amount of reserve needed on the system also grows, due to the increases in the uncertainty of wind power, which grows larger as forecast horizon increases. By scheduling the system more often the amount of extra reserve to be carried to cater for wind...

Electricity markets are currently evolving to accommodate large scale penetration of wind generation. In this research, potential changes to the classification and role of windgenerators in the Single Electricity Market (SEM), the market for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, are...
