The main objective of the present work is to provide a more comprehensive picture wind patterns in Black Sea basin. analysis based on 14 years data (1999–2012) coming from both measurements and reanalysis model fields. A first perspective conditions coastal environment given by considering several offshore weather stations that operate western sector sea. above completed using remotely sensed as well fields two atmospheric models operated European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts...

The work presents a comprehensive picture of the wind energy potential in coastal environment Black and Caspian Seas. 10-year data coming from US National Centers for Environmental Prediction was considered as main source. This dataset subsequently compared with both situ remotely sensed measurements. results show that western side Sea has an enhanced power potential, especially vicinity Crimean Peninsula. As regards Sea, northeastern sector can be more energetic. A direct comparison various...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate wind potential in nearshore Mediterranean Sea. Thus, a comprehensive picture conditions provided by considering 15-year cumulative information coming from remotely sensed data and two numerical models. These are European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) National Centers Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Since most offshore turbines usually operate at about 80 m height, initial (reported 10 m) were adjusted this height various...

The main objective of the present work is to assess wind energy resources in Black and Caspian seas. Additionally, electric power expected be provided by various state art technologies was also evaluated. For this reason, several reference points were considered coastal environments two areas targeted. In order potential these locations, 12 year data coming from US National Centers for Environmental Prediction processed analyzed. From analysis density (corresponding a height 80 m), it...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate opportunity wind farms implementation in north-western side Black Sea. An assessment energy potential was first carried out by analyzing eleven years data. Both situ measurements and model data coming from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts were considered at this level. Using a classical logarithmic transformation law, speeds translated height 80 m where usually turbines operate. analysis indicates Romanian coastal environment...

In the present work Black Sea wave climate is assessed using a total of 38 years data (1979–2016). As first step, long-term variations main parameters were evaluated provided by European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Based on these values, nearshore and offshore conditions from evaluated. Moreover, Azov was also targeted in this study, since some cases are comparable with those Sea. Going up to day, regional through satellite measurements AVISO project, at same time...

In the present work, wind and wave conditions in European nearshore are assessed considering a total of 118 years data, covering time interval from 1900 to 2017. this context, special attention has been given western coasts that facing ocean. order do this, reanalysis data coming three state-of-the-art databases (ERA Interim, ERA20C, NCEP) were processed. Furthermore, more complete picture was provided by also including satellite measurements AVISO (Archiving, Validation Interpretation...

The objective of this work is to assess the synergy marine resources in vicinity several European offshore sites, order analyze viability combined wind-wave renewable projects. reference sites considered for evaluation are located coasts, being already taken into account various As a first step, based on dataset provided by Center Medium-Range Weather Forecasts 10-year interval 2005–2014, it was possible joint seasonal distribution resources. In second part paper, technical characteristics...

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the nearshore wind resources in Black Sea area by using a high resolution database (ERA-Interim). A subsequent estimate what type turbines and farm configurations would be more suitable for coastal environment. comprehensive picture these provided including some satellite measurements, which were also used assess conditions vicinity already operating European projects. Based on results present work, it seems that Crimea Peninsula has best...

The aim of the present work is to assess wind and wave climate in Black Sea while considering various data sources. A special attention given areas with higher navigation traffic. Thus, results are analyzed for sites located close main harbors also along major trading routes. conditions were evaluated two different sets, reanalysis provided by NCEP-CFSR (U.S. National Centers Environmental Prediction-Climate Forecast System Reanalysis) hindcast a Regional Climate Model (RCM) that retrieved...

The objective of this present work is to provide a more comprehensive picture the wind conditions corresponding some important European marine energy sites by considering both historical (1979–2020) and climatological data (2021–2100). As first step, profile each site assessed using statistical methods (e.g., Weibull parameters) relevant indicators for sector, such as downtime period (<3 m/s). Since offshore industry evolves very quickly, another was assess performances large-scale...

The objective of the present work is to assess global wind and wave resources in vicinity some developing countries by evaluating 16-year data (2001–2016), coming from European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecast (ECMWF). Until now, not much has been done evaluate use renewable energy sources these marine environments. This because most attention was focused on more promising areas, such as coasts, which are advanced terms technical economical aspects. A general perspective current...

At the European level, offshore wind projects are already considered a competitive market. Nevertheless, this is not yet case of enclosed sea basins, such as Black Sea, where no farm operating at moment. From perspective, objective present work to identify most suitable sites project can be developed in Romanian coastal areas. Various parameters, speed, water depth, distance shore, and turbine performance, considered. A picture local characteristics first provided considering 20 years...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate down wave conditions and coastal impact induced by a hybrid wave-wind farm that would operate close Sardinia Island in Mediterranean Sea. target area was selected vicinity Porto Ferro, which located northern part island. Considering most relevant environmental patterns, SWAN model simulations have been performed order assess possible marine power plant. As regards considered, it can be mentioned this center developed around some WindFloat...

Based on the fact that wind speed tends to increase as we go from onshore offshore, aim of this work is perform an analysis a Romanian coastal sector located near Danube Delta. Over course 20 years (2001–2020), in situ observations and reanalysis data (ERA5 MERRA-2) local conditions were evaluated meteorological renewable point view. This evaluation includes two sites (Galati Tulcea), one site shoreline (Sulina) also offshore defined at 64 126 km coastline. From comparison with measurements,...
