“…The power density function (Equation ( 2)) can be used to calculate the average power based on a series of average wind speeds in the selected area. This function closely matches the observed long-term distribution of average wind speed, and this function is widely used to quantify wind energy generation [50,51].…”

Climate Change and Renewable Energy Generation in Europe—Long-Term Impact Assessment on Solar and Wind Energy Using High-Resolution Future Climate Data and Considering Climate Uncertainties

Climate change can strongly affect renewable energy production. The state of the art in projecting future renewable energy generation has focused on using regional climate prediction. However, regional climate prediction is characterized by inherent uncertainty due to the complexity of climate models. This work provides a comprehensive study to quantify the impact of climate uncertainties in projecting future renewable energy potential over five climate zones of Europe. Thirteen future climate scenarios, including five global climate models (GCMs) and three representative concentration pathways (RCPs), are downscaled by the RCA4 regional climate model (RCM) over 90 years (2010–2099), divided into three 30-year periods. Solar and wind energy production is projected considering short-/long-term climate variations and uncertainties in seven representative cities (Narvik, Gothenburg, Munich, Antwerp, Salzburg, Valencia, and Athens). The results showed that the uncertainty caused by GCMs has the most substantial impact on projecting renewable energy generation. The variations due to GCM selection can become even larger than long-term climate change variations over time. Climate change uncertainties lead to over 23% and 45% projection differences for solar PV and wind energy potential, respectively. While the signal of climate change in solar radiation is weak between scenarios and over time, wind energy generation is affected by 25%.

The Role of Agriculture and Rural Areas in the Development of Autonomous Energy Regions in Poland

et al. 2021

In many countries, energy security is treated as a priority for the coming decades, and at the same time energy production from the vast majority conventional energy sources does not meet environmental protection criteria. Hence, the need to use renewable energy sources (RES), which can largely satisfy energy needs. The aim of the study was to identify possibilities of creating autonomous energy regions (ARE) in Poland, based on renewable energy sources. Attention was paid to the role and significance of the potential of rural areas in this respect, taking into account the possibilities of increasing energy production from these sources in individual regions of Poland. The research was conducted on a regional level (division into voivodships) and on a local level (division into powiats, which form voivodships). When assessing the potential for constructing ARE based on RES, the following energy sources were taken into account: water, wind, sun, biogas and biomass. It was found that the highest RES potential versus energy consumption can be obtained in powiats where the share of arable land and forests exceeds 80%. The research showed that in most regions of Poland (powiats, voivodships), there is a large potential for obtaining additional energy from RES, which would cover over 73% of the country’s demand for electricity. This could be the basis for building energy independence on a local scale. The results of the study indicated that as many as seven regions would become self-sufficient in terms of electricity demand.

“…The pressing need to combat, the current energy deficiency, the rising energy demand and reduce fossil fuel emissions has birthed several studies across the wind energy industry. Globally, Potić et al (2021) investigated the wind energy potential for electricity production in Knjazevac, Serbia. Six locations were considered.…”

“…A closer look at the global installed wind capacity depicts an increase of 86 GW between the end of 2010 and 2012 (Sumair et al, 2021). A gain of 150 and 131 GW at the end of 2015 and 2018 respectively, and by 2019, with about 60,400 MW new installations, global wind capacity surpassed 651 GW (Potić et al, 2021; Sumair et al, 2021; Vallejo-Díaz et al, 2022) as illustrated in Figure 1.…”

“…Akpinar (2006), predicts more 100,000 MW of installed wind power in Europe by 2030. This is substantial when compared to 16.8 GW wind capacity across the European Union in the fourth quarter of 2017 (Potic´et al, 2021). Furthermore, the European Environment Agency (EEA) forecasts that wind energy would be up seven times its required amount by 2030 (Potic´et al, 2021).…”

This review paper evaluates the current status of the Nigeria wind energy sector to identify the available Wind Energy Potential, Installed Wind Energy Capacity and Renewable Energy Policies in a bid to provide accurate information to aid the exploration and exploitation of wind energy across Nigeria. Consequently, the huge expanse between the wind energy Potential across Cities in Nigeria, the poor numbers of installed wind capacity and Nigeria’s Renewable Energy policies show low interest in Wind Energy in comparison to other RE sources. All this calls for further investment in the Nigerian wind energy sector
