Impact of Hourly Wind Power Variations on the System Operation in the Nordic Countries

Author:  Holttinen, Hannele

[abstract] The variations of wind power production will increase the flexibility needed in the system when significant amounts of load are covered by wind power. When studying the incremental effects that varying wind power production imposes on the power system, it is important to study the system as a whole: only the net imbalances have to be balanced by the system. Large geographical spreading of wind power will reduce variability, increase predictability and decrease the occasions with near zero or . . .

New publications on bats and wind turbines (vol. 90)

Author:  Journal of Mammalogy

Cryan, Paul; and Barclay, Robert. 2009. Causes of Bat Fatalities at Wind Turbines: Hypotheses and Predictions. Journal of Mammalogy 90, 1330-1340. Abstract. Thousands of industrial-scale wind turbines are being built across the world each year to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy. Bats of certain species are dying at wind turbines in unprecedented numbers. Species of bats consistently affected by turbines tend to be those that rely on trees as roosts and most migrate long distances. Although considerable progress . . .

Pre- and post-construction studies of conflicts between birds and wind turbines in coastal Norway

Author:  Bevaner, Kjetil; Follestad, Arne; Gjershaug, Jan Ove; et al.

Pre- and post-construction studies of conflicts between birds and wind turbines in coastal Norway – Status report 1st January 2008 Bevaner, Kjetil; Follestad, Arne; Gjershaug, Jan Ove; et al. This report from the Norwegian Institue for Nature Research (NINA) includes status summaries of several ongoing projects, primarily in connection with the wind park on Smøla, including: sea eagle telemetry; weekly search for dead birds; behavioral response of sea eagles; genetic analyses of sea eagles; monitoring of breeding success in sea eagles; . . .

Wind power and birds at Smøla [Norway] 2003-2006

Author:  Follestad, Arne; et al.

Abstract: The Smøla Archipelago off the west coast of Norway, at (63°25′ N, 8°00′ E), has a particularly high breeding density of the white-tailed sea eagle, Haliaeetus albicilla. The EIA for the proposed wind farm indicated that it would affect the sea eagle negatively in several ways. Smøla wind farm as built consists of 68 turbines, and the second phase became operational in August 2005. A research program was initiated in 2003 to monitor the territory occupancy and productivity of . . .
