Today, the main source of wind energy is wind turbine farms, which require a large area of land.
As for the state-owned wind farms that are the main buyers of wind energy equipment, China has many policies to preserve their dominance, while limiting market opportunities for foreign companies that might try to develop wind farms.
During the summer of 2017, Mauricio interned at Apex Clean Energy, where he analyzed the main drivers of wind energy in different locations in the US to help the firm to make better decisions on where to locate their next wind farms.
There are always some missing and invalid data in wind measurement, which poses the main challenges for wind energy resources assessment.
Building on the work of Toke et al. (2008), this study takes a historical institutionalist approach to examine the main factors influencing wind energy deployment across four Canadian provinces Canada Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotiaa.
This review article aims to consolidate the state of knowledge, providing a qualitative analysis of the main effects of wind energy development on- and offshore, focusing on frequently studied species groups (bats, breeding and resting birds, raptors, migratory birds, marine mammals).
In some developed countries, particularly in Europe, the global climate change issue has been the main cause of the wind energy developments.
This chapter describes a simple procedure to calculate the η, the ρ and the γ of power converters for offshore wind turbines via the calculation of power losses, volume and mass of the main components of the wind energy conversion systems (WECS): the power electronics valves, the magnetics components and the capacitors.
The main purpose is to ferry wind energy from remote areas like Sweetwater — already home to many big wind farms — to major cities like Dallas and Fort Worth.
For many types of wind turbine, the main subsystems required to convert wind energy to electrical power have been developed [3, 4].
