Abstract:

In this study we conduct wind resource assessment to evaluate the annual energy production of a wind turbine. To estimate energy production of a wind turbine over a period of time, the power characteristics of the wind turbine are integrated with the probabilities of the wind speed expected at a chosen site. The first data set was obtained from a wind farm in Denmark. We propose several probability density functions to model the distribution of the wind speed. We use techniques from nonlinear regression analysis to model the power curve of a wind turbine. The best fit distribution model is ass

Abstract:

The use of an ocean surface velocity dependent wind stress is examined in the context of a 3-layer double-gyre quasigeostrophic wind-driven ocean circulation model. The new wind stress formulation results in a large reduction of the power input by the wind into the oceanic circulation. This wind stress is proportional to a quadratic function of Ua--u o, where Ua is the wind at 10m above the ocean surface and uo is the ocean surface current. Because the winds are typically faster than the ocean currents, the impact of the ocean surface velocity on the wind stress itself is relatively small. How

Experimental data was compared to numerical simulations to determine percent difference in wake distribution and wingtip deflection for multiple configurations.

Abstract:

Fixed-wing UAVs are today used in many different areas, from agriculture to search and rescue operations. Through various research efforts, they are becoming more and more autonomous. However, the procedure of landing a fixed-wing UAV remains a challenging task, which requires manual input from an experienced pilot. This work proposes a novel method which autonomously performs such landings. The main focus is on small and light-weight UAVs, for which the wind acts as a major disturbance and has to be taken into account.

Forest canopy flow is dominated by a plane mixing layer flow regime with a shear layer close to the canopy top. It has been confirmed that data can be correlated usefully in terms of a shear length

Increasing reliance on renewable energy promises to reduce carbon emissions. Although national-scale polls demonstrate high levels of public support for developing renewable energy, local opposition has led to cancelations of renewable energy projects globally. This dissertation empirically investigates barriers to the siting of offshore wind farms in reference to their perceived risks and benefits; people’s willingness to pay to mitigate environmental risks; values that influence these choices and attitudes; and public engagement processes used to engage local citizens in decisions about siti

Abstract:

The generation of electricity using wind turbines is now widespread and commercially viable. There are two aspects of wind energy which are critically important. Firstly, the evaluation of the wind resource, both on nationally and on a local scale. Secondly, the integration of electricity generated by wind turbines into existing electricity grids without reducing the reliability of supply or reducing the overall economic efficiency of the system. This thesis examines both these aspects. Chapters 3 and 4 are concerned with the large scale utilisation of wind energy. Chapter 3 discusses the suit

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 221-225).<br>As energy becomes an increasingly important issue for generations to come, it is crucial to develop tools for valuing and understanding energy projects from an economic perspective since ultimately only economically viable solutions will be pushed forward. A model is developed for valuing a generic offshore floating wind farm from a corporate finance perspective. The model is used to value the project based
