1. 1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Charlotte Sophie Gausa; [2024]
   Keywords : Arctic; wind profile power law; MOST; boundary layer; low level jets; sea ice; vindprofil; Arktis; gränsskikt; vindenergi; låghöjdsvindar; havsis;

   Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

   Keywords : Biodiversity Management; Wind Power; Environmental Policy; Corporate Sustainability; Infrastructure Habitats; Nature Positive; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The world is transitioning towards a renewable energy system to combat climate change and the wind power industry plays a key role in this shift. However, with the expansion of wind power concerns about its impact on local biodiversity have been raised. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. Emission factors and methods used in climate impact assessments of energy use in Swedish heated buildings - Assessing district heating and electricity as energy source

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Louise Piltz Vitanc; Matilda Hinsegård; [2023]
   Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; Climate Calculation; Methodology; B6; Global Warming Potential; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : When the property- and building industry moves towards new solutions targeting reduced climate impact, this puts pressure on the building owners and companies to calculate the climate impact of buildings. It may seem easy, but there are various methods and guidelines to navigate around. READ MORE
