Strategies for climate-resilient global wind and solar power systems
Climate-intensified supply–demand imbalances may raise hourly costs of wind and solar power systems, but well-designed climate-resilient strategies can provide help.

Cutting red tape is essential. In Europe alone, hundreds of gigawatts of wind energy are stuck in permitting processes that take five to seven years on average. Streamlined permitting for
The Board is a state agency that regulates all of Nebraska''s 161 public power entities and gives final approval for constructing electric generation facilities, including wind turbines.18 While the
Using 39 years of hourly reanalysis data (1980–2018), we analyze the ability of solar and wind resources to meet electricity demand in 42 countries, varying the hypothetical scale and mix of...
As the largest source of clean, renewable power generation in the United States and one of the fastest growing sources of new electricity supply, wind energy will play a large role in the nation''s energy future.
Electricity markets in regions such as Europe face the prospect of increasing negative power prices over the coming years if policy, regulatory and technological measures are not taken to safeguard wind
Wind turbines can generate more power where the wind power density — the measure of wind energy that can be harnessed at a given altitude — is higher. Offshore wind turbines, for...
China will effect several measures to ensure adequate power supply amid surging demand for electricity due to economic rebound and heat waves, the country''s top economic
The measure of end-year rush to complete wind power facilities, rush, is defined as the capacity installed during December as a share of that year''s total. We expect that the end-year
Incoming Chinese competition is an ominous sign for one of Europe''s last clean technology hopes—wind turbine manufacturing. China has already eradicated Europe''s solar industry. It also
