Current developments and future prospects of offshore wind and ocean energy
Miguel Esteban,David Leary +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on current developments in offshore wind and ocean energy, highlighting the efforts currently underway in a variety of countries, principally some of the projects typically less talked about such as those in the Asian-Pacific countries.

Economic effects of renewable energy expansion: A model-based analysis for Germany
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and quantified the net balance of economic effects associated with renewable energy deployment in Germany until 2030 and showed that renewable energy expansion can be achieved without compromising growth or employment.

High resolution reanalysis of wind speeds over the British Isles for wind energy integration
TL;DR: Hawkins et al. as discussed by the authors used a state-of-the-art mesoscale atmospheric mod el to produce a new high-resolution wind speed dataset over the British Isles and surrounding wa ters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skills constraints and the low carbon transition
TL;DR: In this article, a range of market, government, and governance failures relating to the provision of low carbon skills are examined, particularly for their potential to cause a slower, costlier, and less employment-intensive transition.

Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
TL;DR: This informal consolidated text of the Kyoto Protocol incorporates the Amendment adopted at the eighth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the parties to Kyoto Protocol (Doha Amendment).
A global wave energy resource assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from an investigation of global wave energy resources derived from analysis of wave climate predictions generated by the WAVEWATCH-III (NWW3) wind-wave model spanning the 10 year period from 1997 to 2006.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capacity factor of wind power realized values vs. estimates
TL;DR: The capacity factor of wind power measuring the average energy delivered has been assumed in the 30-35% range of the name plate capacity for two decades now, yet, the mean realized value for Europe over the last five years is below 21%; accordingly private cost is two-third higher and the reduction of carbon emissions is 40% less than previously expected.

Harvesting Ocean Wave Energy
Jeffrey T. Scruggs,Paul Jacob +1 more
TL;DR: Offshore structures that generate electrical power from ocean waves have been deployed but engineering challenges remain and more work is needed to overcome these challenges.
