Electricity generation is a global challenge to be faced by several countries. This has led to the pursuit and development of new clean technologies to sustainable supply of the growing world demand for energy. Currently ...

This paper presents the first estimate of offshore wind power potential for the central coast of Chile. For this purpose, wind speed data from in-situ stations and ERA-Interim reanalysis were used to simulate wind fields ...

Offshore wind energy potential and its technical and economic feasibility were determined in Chile. Wind speed data from ERA-Interim reanalysis 10 m above the sea surface between 1979 and 2014 was used. The capacity factor ...

Offshore wind power emits low amounts of gases, is renewable and has better performance than onshore due to its greater stability and higher wind power density, less visual and noise impact, among others. Brazil has a ...

The consumption of energy on the planet is currently based on fossil fuels. They are responsible for adverse effects on the environment. Renewables propose solutions for this scenario, but must face issues related to the ...

Logistics influences production and distribution costs and time in several sectors. In the offshore wind energy sector, installation logistics costs can reach 20% of CAPEX. Two relevant factors in the sector are: the ...

Wind energy has been in use since the end of the 19th century. In Denmark, for example, there was the great development of wind power from the manufacture of the first turbines by small agricultural equipment companies. ...

The use of renewable energy sources is one of the most efficient ways to decarbonize the economy, and among these sources is offshore wind energy. In addition, offshore wind turbine technology evolves rapidly in terms of ...
