an offshore Wind Energy geographic information system owe gis for assessment of the uk s offshore Wind Energy potential
Renewable Energy, 2016Co-Authors: Stefano Cavazzi, A G DuttonAbstract:Abstract An Offshore Wind Energy Geographic Information System (OWE-GIS) has been developed for the purpose of assessing the economically accessible offshore Wind Energy resource for the United Kingdom. The UK OWE-GIS estimates the costs of Energy from an offshore Wind farm taking account of the major capital components; development costs dependent on water depth and distance from nearest ports or grid connection points; the potential Energy production dependent on annual average Wind speed, potential array losses, and turbine availability; operations and maintenance costs; and financial parameters such as discount rate and project lifetime. A sensitivity analysis is presented to show the influence of discount rate, project lifetime, and assumptions about overall capital expenditure (CAPEX), availability, and annual mean Wind speed.

an overview of global ocean Wind Energy resource evaluations
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016Co-Authors: Chong-wei Zheng, Chong Yin LiAbstract:With the rapid development of human society, the demand for Energy has accordingly increased, and along with this increasingly serious Energy and environmental crises have developed. Many countries have been focusing on new Energy resources to combat these crises, and offshore Wind Energy resources are especially attractive; they are safe, non-polluting, renewable, and widely distributed with large reserves, which has made them become the focus of developed countries. However, the distribution of Wind Energy has strong regional and seasonal differences, which determines the success and efficiency of Wind Energy developments. Therefore, there is a clear need for “resource evaluation and planning in advance” in the Wind Energy development. Previous research has made a great contribution to the evaluation of offshore Wind Energy resources, mostly through analysis of the climatic characteristics of Wind Energy. In the actual development process of Wind Energy resources, these analyses of the climatic characteristics of Wind Energy provide a reference for site selection. However, after constructing Wind farms, to aid their operation, there needs to be a more comprehensive understanding of other factors, such as the short-term forecasting and medium- to long-term predictions of Wind Energy. This paper reviews the research progress of the Wind Energy resource evaluations, and then considers where future research needs to focus, for the evaluation of Wind Energy resources. This mainly includes further analyses of the climatic characteristics of Wind Energy, short-term forecasting, medium- to long-term predictions, early disaster warning systems, the establishment of a Wind Energy development index (WEDI) and an integrated application system, in hope of providing a reference for offshore Wind power generation, seawater desalination and other Wind Energy resource developments, and accelerating the industrialization and utilization of offshore Wind Energy. Doing this will alleviate the Energy and environmental crises, and promote the sustainable development of human society.

assessment of the global ocean Wind Energy resource
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2014Co-Authors: Chong-wei ZhengAbstract:Abstract Against a background of an environmental and resources crisis, the exploitation of renewable and clean Energy can effectively alleviate the Energy crisis and contribute to emission reduction and environmental protection, thus promoting sustainable development. This study aims to develop a grade classification map of the global ocean Wind Energy resource based on CCMP (cross-calibrated, multi-platform) Wind field data for the period 1988–2011. We also calculate, for the first time, the total storage and effective storage of Wind Energy across the global ocean on a 0.25°×0.25° grid. An optimistic increasing long-term trend in Wind power density was found. In addition, the global ocean Wind Energy resource was analyzed and regionalized by considering the temporal and spatial distributions of Wind power density, Wind Energy levels, and effective Wind speed, as well as through a consideration of Wind Energy storage and the stability and long-term trends of Wind power density. This research fills a gap in our knowledge in this field, and provides a reference point for future scientific research and development into Wind Energy resources such as Wind power generation, water pumping, and Wind-heating.

assessing the china sea Wind Energy and wave Energy resources from 1988 to 2009
Ocean Engineering, 2013Co-Authors: Chong-wei Zheng, Jiaxun LiAbstract:Abstract In this study, the wave field in the China Sea was simulated over the period from 1988 to 2009 using the third-generation wave model WAVEWATCH-III (WW3), with Cross-Calibrated, Multi-Platform (CCMP) Wind field as the driving field. The China Sea Wind Energy density and wave Energy density were calculated using the CCMP Wind and WW3 model simulation results. The China Sea Wind Energy and wave Energy resource were analyzed, synthetically considering the value of Energy density, probability of exceedance of Energy density level, exploitable Wind speed and exploitable significant wave height (SWH), the stability of Energy density, total storage and exploitable storage of Energy resources, thus providing the guidance for the location of Wind and wave power plants. Our results show that most of the China Sea contains abundant wave Energy and offshore Wind Energy resources, with Wind Energy density above 150 W/m2, wave Energy density above 2 kW/m, high occurrence of exploitable Wind and wave Energy in large scale waters, Wind Energy storage above 2×103 kW h m−2, wave Energy storage above 4×104 kW h m−1. The richest area is in the northern South China Sea (Wind Energy density 350–600 W/m2, wave Energy density 10–16 kW/m, Wind Energy storage 3×103–5×103 kW h m−2, wave Energy storage 8×104–16×104 kW h m−1), followed by southern South China Sea and the East China Sea (Wind Energy density 150–450 W/m2, wave Energy density 4–12 kW/m, Wind Energy storage 2×103–4×103 kW h m−2, wave Energy storage 4×104–12×104 kW h m−1). The Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea resources are relatively poorer (Wind Energy density below 300 W/m2, wave Energy density below 4 kW/m, Wind Energy storage below 2.5×103 kW h m−2, wave Energy storage below 6×104 kW h m−1).

Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2002Co-Authors: Thomas Ackermann, Lennart SöderAbstract:The paper provides an overview of the historical development of Wind Energy technology and discusses the current world-wide status of grid-connected as well as stand-alone Wind power generation. During the last decade of the twentieth century, grid-connected world-wide Wind capacity has doubled approximately every three years. Due to the fast market development, Wind turbine technology has experienced an important evolution over time. An overview of the different design approaches is given and issues like power grid integration, economics, environmental impact and special system applications, such as offshore Wind Energy, are discussed. Due to the complexity of the Wind Energy technology, however, this paper mainly aims at presenting a brief overview of the relevant Wind turbine and Wind project issues. Therefore, detailed information to further readings and related organisations is provided. This paper is an updated version of the article 'Wind Energy Technology and Current Status: A Review', published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 4/2000, pp. 315-374. This update was requested by Elsevier due to the large interest in Wind power.
