Changes in the simulation of atmospheric instability over the Iberian Peninsula due to the use of 3DVAR data assimilation
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-06-18)
[EN] Abstract. The ability of two downscaling experiments to correctly simulate thermodynamic conditions over the
Iberian Peninsula (IP) is compared in this paper. To do so,
three parameters used to evaluate the unstable ...
Optimal strategies of deployment of far offshore co-located wind-wave energy farms
(Elsevier, 2022-01-01)
[EN] The most profitable offshore energy resources are usually found away from the coast. Nevertheless, the accessibility and grid integration in those areas are more complicated. To avoid this problematic, large scale ...
Floating wind turbine energy and fatigue loads estimation according to climate period scaled wind and waves
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Offshore wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources, as it is expected to play a major role in the transition towards sustainability and net zero emissions. Despite its potential, the interaction of ...
CMIP6 projections for global offshore wind and wave energy production (2015–2100)
(Nature, 2023-10)
Three-hourly CMIP6 projections have been used in conjuction with the CSIRO WaveWatchIII wave model to calculate the global trends in offshore wind and wave energy for the SSP585 and SSP126 scenarios until 2100. The results ...
Seasonal Correction of Offshore Wind Energy Potential due to Air Density: Case of the Iberian Peninsula
(MDPI, 2019-07-02)
A constant value of air density based on its annual average value at a given location is commonly used for the computation of the annual energy production in wind industry. Thus, the correction required in the estimation ...
Performance variations of wave energy converters due to global long-term wave period change (1900–2010)
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Long-term ocean climate effects on wave energy are often analysed from the viewpoint of the well-known increment of wave height over the decades. However, this increment associated with the increase of wave energy flux and ...
The Consequences of Air Density Variations over Northeastern Scotland for Offshore Wind Energy Potential
(MDPI, 2019-07-09)
Hywind-Scotland is a wind farm in Scotland that for many reasons is at the leading edge of technology and is located at a paradigmatic study area for offshore wind energy assessment. The objective of this paper is to compute ...
Long-Term Freezing Temperatures Frequency Change Effect on Wind Energy Gain (Eurasia and North America, 1950 & 2019)
(MDPI, 2022-05-07)
The persistent freezing conditions in cold regions are the cause of ice accretion on mechanical and instrumental elements of wind turbines. Consequently, remarkable Annual Energy Production (AEP) losses are prone to occur ...
Paradigmatic case of long-term colocated wind–wave energy index trend in Canary Islands
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Previous studies based on remote sensing data and reanalysis have identified strong historical increments of wind speed in the area around the Canary Islands (Spain) without appreciating any increment of wave height. This ...
