Subject:
attitudes and opinions; coal; demographic statistics; electricity generation; fossils; power plants; willingness to pay; wind power; wind turbines
Abstract:
... This study addresses resident attitudes and visual and auditory impacts from nearby electricity generation. Unlike most prior studies, questions allowing bidirectional answers are used, allowing positive or negative responses, and matched questions are applied in paired communities, one community proximate to utility-scale wind generation and the second proximate to fossil generation. At least a f ...

Subject:
algorithms; electronics; energy transfer; engineering; vehicles (equipment)
Abstract:
... When charging or discharging electric vehicles, power losses occur in the vehicle and the building systems supplying the vehicle. A new use case for electric vehicles, grid services, has recently begun commercial operation. Vehicles capable of such application, called Grid-Integrated Vehicles, may have use cases with charging and discharging summing up to much more energy transfer than the chargin ...

Abstract:
... The goal of this research is to understand the economics of anticipated large-scale changes in the electric system. 86 million different combinations of renewable generation (wind and solar), natural gas, and three storage types (hydrogen storage, electric vehicles equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, and building heat) are modeled within the PJM Interconnection. The corresponding elect ...

Subject:
algorithms; cost effectiveness; electricity; electricity costs; energy; heat; heat pumps; models; natural gas; temperature; weather; wind power; United States
Abstract:
... Recent work has shown that for high-penetration renewable electricity systems, it is less expensive to install higher capacity of renewables and to allow generation to exceed load during some hours, rather than to build so much storage that all electricity can be used to meet electrical load. Because excess electricity appears to be cost-optimum, this raises the question as to whether the excess e ...

Abstract:
... This article examines how power authorities could facilitate and manage offshore wind power development in US coastal waters. The power authority structure is an American 20th century institution for managing energy resources—a form of a public authority or public corporation dedicated to creating, operating and maintaining electric generation and transmission infrastructure. Offshore wind power i ...

boating; energy; fishing boats; surveys; wind; wind power; Delaware; Massachusetts
Abstract:
... This paper analyses mail surveys of residents living near two proposed offshore wind projects – Cape Wind off Massachusetts and Bluewater Wind off Delaware, and compares responses in 2005 or 2006 with 2009. On Cape Cod, compared with 2005, a majority (57%) now supports Cape Wind. Support in Delaware has remained relatively constant since 2006, reaching 80% in 2009. Questions examined reasons for s ...

Abstract:
... This article describes improved techniques to calculate the wind power resource of an offshore area. The method uses publicly available oceanic, environmental and socio-economic data to identify areas less suitable for development due to physical or technical constraints, safety or other hazards, environmental concerns, or competing uses. Using wind speed data from meteorological buoys, annual ene ...

Abstract:
... Offshore wind offers a very large clean power resource, but electricity from the first US offshore wind contracts is costlier than current regional wholesale electricity prices. To better understand the factors that drive these costs, we develop a pro-forma cash flow model to calculate two results: the levelized cost of energy, and the breakeven price required for financial viability. We then dete ...

Abstract:
... World wind power resources are abundant, but their utilization could be limited because wind fluctuates rather than providing steady power. We hypothesize that wind power output could be stabilized if wind generators were located in a meteorologically designed configuration and electrically connected. Based on 5 yr of wind data from 11 meteorological stations, distributed over a 2,500 km extent al ...
