Lets Tango with the Wind: Disinformation and Onshore Wind TurbinesPresentation on Bledcom 31, from Anthony Scott, on his Master International Communication graduation project: Lets Tango with the Wind

This article discusses results from an international contest, open for university student teams (bachelor and master), involving the design, construction, and testing of small wind turbines in a large wind tunnel. The wind tunnel has an outlet of 2.85 x 2.85 m allowing a maximum rotor swept area of 2 …

In Europe, green hydrogen and biogas/green gas are considered important renewable energy carriers, besides renewable electricity and heat. Still, incentives proceed slowly, and the feasibility of local green gas is questioned. A supply chain of decentralised green hydrogen production from locally generated …

While modern wind turbines have become by far the largest rotating machines on Earth with further upscaling planned for the future, a renewed interest in small wind turbines (SWTs) is fostering energy transition and smart grid development. Small machines have traditionally not received the same level …

The dynamic inflow effect describes the unsteady aerodynamic response to fast changes in rotor loading due to the inertia of the wake. Fast changes in turbine loading due to pitch actuation or rotor speed transients lead to load overshoots. The phenomenon is suspected to be also relevant for gust situations; …

Decentralised renewable energy production in the form of fuels or electricity can have large scale deployment in future energy systems, but the feasibility needs to be assessed. The novelty of this paper is in the design and implementation of a mixed integer linear programming optimisation model to minimise …

Thoroughly examines the measurement, modeling and design approaches of wind turbine and wind farm aerodynamics Includes outlooks on the promising topics for future research Contains contributions of internationally renowned experts

Lange tijd heeft Martien Visser geredeneerd dat Nederland prima zonder kernenergie zou kunnen. We hebben immers de Noordzee. Hij is daar sterk aan gaan twijfelen, omdat het domweg te riskant is teveel ballen in één mandje te leggen en erop te vertrouwen dat het wel goed komt.

Louter investeren in netverzwaring is volgens Martien Visser niet de oplossing. “Laten we in plaats daarvan veel meer gaan werken aan het stimuleren van de vraag op momenten met veel aanbod.”

Martien Visser roept de beleidsmakers op te gaan werken aan structurele verbeteringen van het huidige koperen plaatmodel. Dat zal in zijn ogen stroomproducenten en afnemers hopelijk aanzetten tot betere keuzes voor de locaties van toekomstige opwek en vraag. De maatschappelijke baten van verbeteringen …
