“…This is not new in this field-many national studies aiming at boosting the local economy using wind energy are already applying it with great benefits to the local energy production and revenues. Leading countries include China, USA, Germany, India, Spain, UK, France, Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, and Denmark [25][26][27]. Climate Council news announced that many countries are already achieving in their dependence on renewable energy [92].…”

“…For example, America is benefiting from Canadian wind projects, which support energy use in large cities such as New York [25,26]. The North Sea region energy project for 2050 is another example of intercountry cooperation that is expected to cover about 89% of the required electricity for England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway [27].…”

Wind-farm planning optimization is important for decision-making concerning regional energy planning in developing countries. This process is governed by restrictions on site selection based on land suitability metric variables, wind turbine technology variables, and land-use governing criteria. This study aims to create a framework for land appropriation strategies for locating optimum sites suitable for wind farms. It is using Jordan as an Area of Interest (AOI), where the scope is to illustrate how this framework will employ wind turbine energy to positively enhance the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The methodology employs thirteen GIS thematic layers with a 250-m spatial resolution to substantiate how site-specific criteria, turbine type, and turbine hub height variables are determining factors in the optimal solution. This method involves selecting relevant factors, database construction, data layer generation and preparation, numerical ranking and weighting of each factor, and computation of the potential wind farm locations map by overlaying all the thematic GIS layers. The results showed that the establishment of wind farms would not only meet the AOI’s growing energy needs, rather exceed them to generating income for the developing nation. The results of the feasibility study will boost the national GDP by 3.4%; where, for example, one governorate alone could produce 274.3% of the total required national consumption at a turbine hub height of 50 m. The study attests to a valuable framework that can be implemented elsewhere to establish regional power sustainability and feasibility for other nations. The results show that an added land-use layer indicating the potential value of land in terms of its suitability for establishing wind farms should be considered in future sustainable regional planning studies when considering networks for smart cities, industrial cities, smart agriculture, and new agglomerations.

“…Driven by strong electrification of the energy system, sector coupling is expected to significantly increase the amount of wind and solar generation investments towards 2050 31,32 . The increased flexibility provided by sector coupling can decrease curtailment of VRE generation 37 . It is also expected to dampen price variability in electricity markets, with the most flexible sources having the potential to also impact balancing market prices.…”

Wind farm control (WFC) allows coordinated operation of the wind turbines within a wind power plant (WPP). However, its development has traditionally been split into the distinct disciplines of power plant control and farm flow control. As variable renewable energies, in particular wind energy, increase their penetration into the power system, grid code requirements become stricter for WPPs and electricity markets necessarily evolve. In such a context, crossfertilization between the two categories of WFC, targeting an integrated approach where applicable, becomes a priority. An initial overview on how to further align wind farm flow control (WFFC) to grid and electricity markets participation is provided, including an analysis of capabilities and prospects. In addition, greater detail is given about an open‐access dataset serving as market showcases for value demonstration of price‐driven operation of WPPs by means of WFFC.

“…Indeed, wind energy is an important component of the existing and future Danish energy system. Jacobsen, Hevia-Koch & Wolter [168] examine the advantages, disadvantages and cost drivers of nearshore and offshore wind energy; Ladenburg, Hevia-Koch, Petrović, & Knapp [169] examine the differences between onshore and offshore wind farms and public attitudes towards them; Berg, Apostolou & Enevoldsen [170] examine the wind energy market in Denmark and the economic feasibility of integrating various capacities of water electrolysis systems; Jørgensen, Anker, & Lassen [171] examine wind energy support and compensation schemes; Koivisto, Gea-Bermúdez, Kanellas, Das & Sørensen [172] examine wind energy opportunities and prospects across the North Sea region, comparing the connection of each offshore wind farm to the main system individually and the collective advantages and disadvantages; Lund and Mathiesen [173] predict different scenarios for Denmark to achieve 100% RES use and confirm that this is technically possible.…”

Energy policy affects the functioning of the economic and financial systems of countries worldwide. This paper provides a theoretical overview of the economy–energy nexus and discusses the particular cases of the energy policy dynamics amid the sustainability goals. This paper integrates multiple perspectives on the energy–economy nexus, with a particular focus on the energy trilemma, 4As of energy security and PESTEL approach. This allows the development of a comprehensive framework for the analysis of energy security and the sustainability interaction. A review of manifestations of the different dimensions of energy security and sustainability is carried out to identify the most topical facets of the issue. Then, the cases of the selected European Union countries (Ireland, Greece, Denmark and Lithuania) are presented to highlight the effects and features of the recent energy policy changes there. Indeed, these countries apply a PSO levy mechanism on electricity tariffs and are diverse in their geopolitical situation, economic development, geographical situation and energy dependency level. The analysis of the situations of such different countries applying the PSO levy mechanism makes it possible to perform a broader and more in-depth assessment and comparison of electricity tariff regulations. Thus, the developed theoretical model is applied to identify the major outcomes of the energy policy regimes (with a focus on tariff regulation) in the selected countries.
