1. 11. Temporary Halting of Wind Turbine Rotors toMitigate Effects on Birds

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Ola Hedberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Bird; mitigation; effect; wind farm; turbine; wind power; halting; collision; risk; birds; power; generation;

   Abstract : This study assesses the viability of temporarily halting wind turbine operations as amitigation measure to protect bird populations during migration periods. Conducted in thenorthern Baltic, it examines the migration patterns, timings, and altitudes of various birdspecies, aiming to identify the most critical times for implementing turbine stoppages.

   Author : Ellen Blanksvärd; Frida Svensson; [2023-09-21T12:07:03Z 2023-09-21T12:07:03Z 2023 2023]
   Keywords : battery storage; variation management; flexibility services; peak shaving; load shifting; demand side management; rental business; electrification; construction equipment; construction sites;

   Abstract : Construction sites are facing challenges with high power peaks due to electrificationof heavy equipment where potential consequences are increased power tariffs locallyand risk of limited power supply. Another development is an increased intermittentpower supply due to more wind- and solar power in the electricity system, whichcauses price fluctuations. READ MORE

4. 13. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

5. 14. Unveiling the future: Exploring Sweden’s opportunities to transition to an auction-based system for offshore wind.

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

   Author : Hanna Savolainen; [2023-08-11]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The energy transition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the Russian Federation’s war on Ukraine has incentivised targets of European independence in the energy market. Offshore wind is deemed an important energy source because technological advancements have made the sector cost-efficient while producing more capacity than before. READ MORE

6. 15. KEY FACTORS FOR SUCCESS IN CONTESTED GREEN PROJECTS

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Francisco Soto Fernández; [2023-06-28]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to understand why non-polluting energy facilities in Europe are not always well accepted notwithstanding their positive effect on greenhouse gas reduction and their contribution to transforming the EU into a thriving society, as intended by the European Green Deal. The thesis draws on public acceptance theory and has been conducted as a two-step Case Study, namely, the deployment of renewable energy facilities in La Rioja, a Spanish region wherein two waves of wind and solar energy plants – during the 2000s and the 2020s – have enjoyed very different degrees of public support.
