“…To work around this situation. the work of Lima & Bezerra (2010) was used. which argues that the northeast city has a capacity factor of 0.62. which means that a wind farm in the municipality would generate energy for approximately 5,462 hours in the year.…”

Resumo: O mundo está vivenciando uma profunda mudança climática, causada pela atividade predatória do homem, tendo em vista que as atividades econômicas foram exercidas sem preocupação com os impactos Palavras-chave: Energia eólica; Viabilidade econômico-financeira; Taxa Interna de Retorno. Abstract:The world is experiencing a deep climate change caused by the predatory activity of man, due to the long time economic activities practiced without concerns on the environmental impacts. However, nowadays there is the necessity to expand the current economy without compromising the necessary resources for the survival of the future generations. The intensive use of alternative energy configures a contribution to this new development path. In another perspective, the main technical analysis of economic and financial feasibility is widely known; however, the application of techniques that consider the risk is not so usual. Thus, this current work addresses whether it is possible to identify the economic feasibility of a potential wind power generation plant in different Brazilian locations considering the risk of applying Monte Carlo simulation and Beta distribution techniques. In order to answer this question tests were performed in four different locations in Brazil, utilizing the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method with the mentioned techniques to consider the risk in investment analysis. The results showed the sensitivity of the wind project to the financing costs, regardless the region studied.

“…Wind energy is particularly abundant on islands, coastal areas and mountain stations [72][73][74][75][76], and thus it is a favourable source of energy for desalination in such environments. As opposed to solar energy where availability is limited to the availability of sunlight during daytime, wind energy is readily available to be harvested over both day and night, assuming the wind system is well-sited [77].…”

Supply of potable water requires energy and unfortunately most of the countries with minimal access to safe drinking water are also poor in terms of access to reliable energy grids. However, many of such regions have access to other sources of water (such as brackish and groundwater) that can be treated for producing drinking water if correct treatment systems are put in place. Moreover, many of the electrically remote areas are rich in terms of renewable energy (RE) resources (such as wind and solar) which can be potentially employed as the main source of energy for powering water purification systems. Therefore, development and implementation of off-grid RE powered contaminant removal systems, for producing freshwater from available resources (such as brackish and groundwater), can be considered as an effective and potentially sustainable solution for overcoming the drinking water scarcity issue in remote regions of developing countries. This chapter revises the state of the art related to desalination systems using electrodialysis technology powered by wind energy for decentralised water production.

“…where f v ð Þ is the probability density function of the wind speed, v is the upstream wind speed, and a and k are, respectively, the scale parameter and the dimensionless shape parameter. According to the value of k, the Weibull distribution can reproduce other kinds of statistical distribution, e.g., k ¼ 1 exponential, k ¼ 2 Rayleigh and k ¼ 3:5 normal [11].

Routing of high-voltage electric transmission\ud lines for the connection of renewable energy-distributed\ud generation plants is a critical issue from an environmental\ud point of view. A standard methodology that accounts for\ud multiple perspectives, inﬂuence factors and is able to mediate\ud between weighted constraints can be a useful tool for the\ud regulating bodies that are involved in approval processes. The\ud methodology can be an effective support to increase reli-\ud ability, save consumers’ money and mitigate the unavoidable\ud impacts of the lines on the population living nearby. In this\ud paper we investigate the suitability of a procedure employed\ud by Terna, the Italian high-voltage transmission system\ud operator, to identify the corridors where to route new over-\ud head transmission lines with the lowest environmental\ud impact. The methodology is based on the subdivision of all\ud the relevant constraints dictated by environmental issues and\ud territory legislations in four main classes. A real case study\ud concerning the design and connection of a wind farm placed\ud near Collarmele, in the center of Italy, shows the effective-\ud ness of the proposed methodology
