Wind Resource Assessment and the uncertainty factor is too important for an accurate and precise Annual Energy Production estimation.

Operational and maintenance costs are the Achilles’ heel for any wind energy installation. The determination of appropriate mitigation actions and strategies is critical for the economic growth and the performance stability of wind plants.

Extreme winds derived from simulations using mesoscale models are underestimated due to the effective spatial and temporal resolutions. This is reflected in the spectral domain as an energy deficit in the mesoscale range...

The implementation of nanotechnology into wind energy applications, is bringing together different methodologies and techniques to address more effectively some of the great challenges facing the science of wind engineering.

In an attempt to acquire a holistic view on the social acceptance and attitude towards the wind power plants existence and their repowering potential a survey was conducted.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a sophisticated iterative process, designed to investigate and categorize the root causes of events or failures that may have catastrophic impacts to the overall performance of the system. RCA as an engineering problem solving-tool uses...

A wind energy installation repowering project, located in South Euboea (Evia), Greece has been assessed and investigated to identify and balance potential benefits, vulnerabilities and risks.

Natura 2000 is the cornerstone of EU nature and biodiversity conservation policy framework. It has been developed under the Birds Directive (1979) and Habitats Directive (1992) with main scope to establish ecosystem stability and develop new strategic priorities, methods and practices...

The synergistic relationship between the air masses above the Aegean Sea towards the mainland of South Euboea and the topographic characteristics of the area, combined to the slope morphology of the terrain, plays an important role on the exceptional wind potential of this site.
