  1. 1. Lifetime extension of offshore wind farms

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Robert Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Lifetime extension; offshore wind power; O M; reliability; ReliaSoft;

    Abstract : Renewable energy sources are in strong demand as the need for clean energy is increasing, driven by the need to reach the environmental targets. Offshore wind power is becoming an attractive source as the technology matures and cost decreases. With time all wind farms age and when the time comes one needs to consider end of life alternatives.

  4. 3. Do feed-in tariffs promote environmental efficiency among wind farms? : a two-stage LCA + DEA efficiency case study on 75 Danish wind farms

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Gustav Berglöf; [2020]
    Keywords : DEA; efficiency; environmental efficiency; feed-in tariff; operational efficiency; renewable energy; subsidy; wind power;

    Abstract : It is generally known that wind power has an offsetting effect on emissions by crowding out fossil dependent energy sources. What has not been studied to any further extent is the variability in environmental impacts caused by wind turbine erection and manufacturing. Also, it is not known how economic incentives could affect these impacts. READ MORE

  5. 4. The contribution of wind farms to sustainably developing local communities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Macha Epp; [2020]
    Keywords : wind farms – community acceptance – creating shared value – local stakeholders – Russian Arctic – regional development; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national grid; providing more efficient, reliable, cheaper, and cleaner energy supply to the end-consumer.

  6. 5. Project evaluation in the energy sector: The case of wind farm development

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Johanna Rahm Juhlin; Sandra Åkerström; [2019]
    Keywords : Project evaluation; wind energy projects; MCDM analysis; wind energy project economics; wind farm development; Projektutvärdering; vindkraftsprojekt; MCDM analys; utveckling av vindkraftsprojekt; vindkraftsekonomi;

    Abstract : Wind is a fast growing energy resource and the demand for clean energy is increasing with growing interests from media, governmental institutions and the public (EWEA, 2004). The increased interest towards the wind energy market has led to a more competitive environment where it is crucial for a project developer to select projects most likely to succeed, in terms of profitability, among alternatives on the market.
