Policies and design elements for the repowering of wind farms: A qualitative analysis of different options

Repowering: An actual possibility for wind energy in Spain in a new scenario without feed-in-tariffs

“…The repowering of wind farms (WF hereinafter) provides benefits to the electricity system as a whole [20], can improve the social and environmental impact [21,22] and may represent a reasonable option for the Spanish wind industrial sector to address the current critical situation [23].…”

A stakeholder analysis of divergent supply-chain trends for the European onshore and offshore wind installations

“…However, the reasons may be different. A high number of future onshore projects due to repowering in settled markets (del Río et al, 2011) and growth in emerging markets (EWEA, 2011b, p. 3) could lead to further scale effects for onshore wind power projects. For offshore wind power projects, the need for planning expertise and a relatively small number of experienced offshore project developers may result in a stronger market position and higher profit margins (see Kersten et al, 2011).…”

Coordinated Control Strategies for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Wind Energy Conversion System

“…Energies 2017, 10, 1493 3 of 17 efficiency and to be capable enough for grid integration [5]. The repowering of a wind turbine with the new technology is very costly which is an additional burden to the country or power producers.…”

“…The repowering of an existing wind turbine with modern technology is the most preferred solution to upgrade wind farms. The new innovation in wind power technology should be installed in each wind turbine in order to achieve maximum efficiency and to be capable enough for grid integration [5]. The repowering of a wind turbine with the new technology is very costly which is an additional burden to the country or power producers.…”
