In order to extend the useful lifetime of a wind farm, wind turbine repowering is an option. Repowering may be applied due to the turbine's aging, reduction in turbine yield or in the …
Decommissioning is usually the last stage of the offshore wind farm life cycle. Due to the challenges of the decommissioning process, such as the impact on the marine environment …
The enormous rise in installed wind power capacity worldwide over the last twenty years means most of the wind power plants will soon reach their end-of-life of service. The …
The wind industry is currently facing a major challenge due to the ageing of the wind turbines that were first commissioned. Recent wind turbine designs present higher power …
The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial analysis in the development of a floating offshore wind farm. When you plan a …
This paper develops a methodology to determine the installation costs of a floating wind farm installed offshore, the value of which depends on the type of floating offshore wind …
This research investigates, analyses, and quantifies the technological effects of wind turbine repowering (ie, where old turbines are removed and new turbines are installed at the same …
Repowering augments the power generation capacity of a wind farm in order to enhance the exploitation of the high mean wind speed regions. In this study, a partial repowering strategy …
This study explores the effects of inter-farm wakes and proposes staggering schemes that are most suitable for optimization of existing wind farm arrays to mitigate the effects of …
