Wind power (WP) generation can be utilised to reduce the stre ss on the power plants by minimising the peak demands in constrained distribution networks. Benefits of WP include increased energy
Wind farms are areas where a number of wind turbines are grouped together, providing a larger total energy source. As of 2018 the largest wind farm in the world was the Jiuquan Wind Power Base, an array of more
The hourly capacity factors for wind power and solar power can be obtained by dividing the typical daily hourly generation of wind and solar power by the installed capacities
An example of a quantity-based instrument is a Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) which "imposes a minimum quota or a share of renewable energy production on electricity suppliers,
Despite the rapid growth in wind power generation, China has suffered a serious curtailment in wind power in several areas, especially in Xinjiang, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia.
The focus here is generally on cost, with the assumption being that utilities will choose the least expensive source of renewable power. For instance, the British Wind Energy Association lists
Wind-power leases may also affect your obligations under other land agreements, she says. If the property has a mortgage, for example, you may need your lender’s consent to enter into a wind-company lease. The lease should address the payment of debts secured by the land as well as placement of new liens on the property, she says.
Buyer Options to Purchase the Project or Special Purpose Entity. Many utilities have shown a strong interest in owning wind energy projects. In PPAs, this interest often takes the form of an option to purchase the project or the entity that owns it on or after a specified date. Such options should be handled carefully.
Capacity market participation presents several considerations for offshore wind generators. First, for generators to participate in capacity markets, they must first apply to participate. If they qualify, then they are obligated to provide services when called upon or make a noncompliance payment.
In this report, we systematically analyze offshore wind energy support regimes across U.S. states. The comparison is made along several dimensions, including statutory authority, solicitation procedures, procurement goals and awards, and the structuring of physical and transactional delivery of energy services.
U.S. states along the Atlantic Coast have set procurement goals for offshore wind energy to meet Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and serve state policy needs. By the end of 2019, projects with a total capacity of 6.4 gigawatts (GW) had established long-term contracts or equivalent regulatory requirements with utility off-takers.
