Wind Energy

The characterized wind electricity generation systems were statistically evaluated to assess the reduction in life cycle GHG emissions. A total of five unique categorization codes (HAWT-ON-S. HAWT-ON-I. HAWT-ON-L. HAWT- OFF-L. VAWT-ON-S) were designated to the 29 wind electricity generation LCA studies (representing 74 wind system cases) using the proposed categorization …

Wind energy. an alternative to conventional energy produced by burning fossil fuels. is a renewable and clean energy which produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. consumes no water. and uses only a little land. With the rapidly growing world population. it is essential to increase the production of energy …

Wind has been used as an energy source since ages. The power of wind was used to sail ships. to mill grain and to pump water. Wind power is currently considered as one of the most viable alternatives to fossil fuels because it is renewable. widely distributed and clean with …

The new cooperation agreement is an extension of the original 114 million euros climate fund that Finland established in collaboration with the IFC last year.

Wind energy source (WES) is one of the most prominent sources of electrical energy in years to come. WES. as a renewable source. has no impacts on the climate issues and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The increasing concerns about environmental problems demand green. renewable. and sustainable ideas. Wind turbines along …

Renewable energy is a significant input for environmental. economic and social development. The wind energy has become the quickest thriving renewable energy resource. It is worth noting that wind power has the least emissions and lowest water consumption. but it has comparatively high costs. Thus. making wind energy station planning …

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing energy sources worldwide. The installed wind power reached 456 GW in Oct. 2016 (WWEA 2016). The yearly growth rate in 2015 was 16.8%. It was 16.5% in 2014. The environmental and economic merits of utilizing wind energy contributed to this steady growth …

This paper presents an enhanced control strategy for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) using Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). A robust Super-Twisting (STW) sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbine is developed to produce the optimal aerodynamic torque and improve the dynamic performance of the WECS. The electromagnetic torque of …

Wind energy is re-shaping the global energy mix.
