Die Stromversorgung in Deutschland wandelt sich von der Nutzung fossiler Energien und Kernenergie zunehmend in Richtung regenerativer Energien. Ein bedeutendes "Standbein" stellt hierbei die Windkraftnutzung dar. Doch lässt sich trotz hoher grundsätzlicher Zustimmung zur Energiewende vermehrt...

Power generation in Germany is increasingly moving from the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power towards renewable energy. A significant 'pillar' of this transition is the use of wind power. However, despite high levels of general support for the energy transition, there is an increasing amount...

Die Stromversorgung in Deutschland wandelt sich von der Nutzung fossiler Energien und Kernenergie zunehmend in Richtung regenerativer Energien. Ein bedeutendes "Standbein" stellt hierbei die Windkraftnutzung dar. Doch lässt sich trotz hoher grundsätzlicher Zustimmung zur Energiewende vermehrt...

"Die Energiewende ist ein viel diskutiertes Thema im Bundestag - doch bleibt dabei auch der eigentliche Anspruch eines Transformationsprojekts bestehen? Andrea Amri-Henkel greift diese Frage in ihrer Diskursanalyse der Bundestagsdebatten von 1998 bis 2017 auf. Dazu entwickelt sie ein innovatives...

Wind power generation is expected to increase significantly in the near future. Owing to the increasingly limited possibilities for using on-land turbines, offshore wind generation is a potential alternative. However, wind turbines located offshore are still associated with visual disamenities...

Prior to 2002, the original State Power Corporation of China, integrating power plants and grids, focused more on power generation planning, causing the construction of grids lagging behind the development of power generation. After the split of plants and grids, power plants and grid companies...

This paper is a modest attempt to study the growth and performance of wind farms in India. India occupies the 5th place in the world in wind energy generation after Germany, the USA, Denmark and Spain, and has an installed capacity of more than 2485 MW of wind energy, comprising both commercial...

Wind power development has produced controversies in many places. Some people see wind power as a sustainable source of energy, others see it as destroying nature and landscapes. The opposition to wind power is often asserted to be from local forces and NIMBYism, and support to be based on the...
