Abstract Offshore wind energy is widely regarded as one of the most credible sources for increasing renewable production towards a resilient and decarbonised supply. However, current expectations expansion from offshore may lead to significant environmental impacts. Assessing ecological risks marine ecosystems electricity both timely vital. It will support adoption management measures that minimize impacts sustainability sector.
Wind energy is poised to play a major role in the transition. The objective of this work investigate effects climate change on global wind resources. For purpose, multi-model ensemble constructed with selected Global Climate Models. considered through most recent scenarios, Shared Socioeconomic Pathways. We find significant decline resources by 2100 relative current levels. particularly evident mid-latitudes Northern Hemisphere – heavily populated regions where it matters especially, given...
The design of the different offshore renewable energy (ORE) technologies depends on characteristics wind/wave resources. However, these are not stationary under climate change. In this study evolution European wave/wind resources is assessed mid- and high-emissions scenarios based Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2-4.5 SSP5-8.5) three forecasting horizons including near (2023–2032), mid (2041–2050) long term (2091–2100). novelties lie in: (i) concurrent analysis wind wave resources, (ii)...
The integration of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters into a coastal structure (breakwater, jetty, pier, etc.) or, more generally, their installation along the coast is an effective way to increase accessibility power exploitation. In this paper, theoretical model developed based on linear potential flow theory and eigenfunction matching method evaluate hydrodynamic performance array OWCs installed vertical straight coast. chamber each OWC consists hollow circular...
Abstract Coastal urbanisation, energy extraction, food production, shipping and transportation have led to the global proliferation of artificial structures within coastal marine environments (sensu “ocean sprawl”), with subsequent loss natural habitats biodiversity. To mitigate compensate impacts ocean sprawl, practice eco-engineering has been developed over past decade. Eco-engineering aims create sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society environment for benefit both. The science...
To mitigate the effects of wind variability on power output, hybrid systems that combine offshore with other renewables are a promising option. In this work we explore potential combining and solar through case study in Asturias (Spain)—a region where floating solutions only option for marine due to lack shallow water areas, which renders bottom-fixed turbines inviable. Offshore resources production assessed based high-resolution data technical specifications commercial photovoltaic (PV)...
In the current context of environmental degradation and depletion fossil fuels, marine energy has emerged as an alternative to traditional resources. However, being in initial step development, extracting from ocean is often regarded difficult uneconomical. The existing models for assessing costs are oversimplified, leading uncertainties that may hold investors back slow down market penetration this renewable. Therefore, accurate prediction fundamental drawing conclusions about its...
