“…This SR identifies many instances of negative short-or medium-term distributional impacts of policies supporting the deployment renewable energy, as shown for RPS, FIT/FIPs, and TGC [32][33][34][35] (Figure 5). For instance, 12 of the 13 evaluations assessing the distributional outcomes of FITS identify regressive effects 34,36,37 . These results are not driven by the most frequently studied countries namely Spain or Germany.…”

The literature evaluating the technical and socio-economic outcomes of policy instruments used to support the transition to low-carbon economies is neither easily accessible nor comparable, and often provides conflicting results. We develop and implement a framework to systematically review and synthesize the impact of ten types of decarbonisation policy instruments on seven technical and socio-economic outcomes. Our systematic review shows that the selected types of regulatory and economic and financial instruments are generally associated with positive impacts on environmental, technological, and innovation outcomes.Several instruments are often associated with short-term negative impacts on competitiveness and distributional outcomes. We discuss how these trade-offs can be reduced or transformed into co-benefits by designing R&D and government procurement, deployment policies, carbon pricing and trading. We show how specific design features can promote competitiveness and reduce negative distributional impacts, particularly for small firms. An online interactive Decarbonisation Policy Evaluation Tool allows further analysis of the evidence.

“…This is a limit above which a brake system is activated in the turbine in order for it to avoid any possible mechanical damage or deterioration that may lead to its failure [55,56]. Finally and aiming to show representative results on the economic viability of an offshore project in the current European and Spanish energy framework, a study of the Levelized Cost of Energy parameter is carried out for each of the four wind turbine technologies in the selected locations [57,58]. This economic parameter, measured in EUR•kWh −1 , shows the production cost of the electric energy generated by a wind turbine in a specific location for period of one year.…”

Study Concerning the Expected Dynamics of the Wind Energy Resources in the Iberian Nearshore

The objective of the present study is to show a comprehensive assessment of the wind resource dynamics along the Spanish coastal environment of the Iberian Peninsula. After studying the historical resources (reported at 100 m height) for the 20-year period from 1999 to 2018 by analyzing the ERA5 time series of wind speed data, the 10 locations with highest historical wind resources are considered. For these, the study of the future dynamics for the 30-year period from 2021 to 2050 under the climate change scenario RCP 4.5 is carried out. After further selection, mean and maximum values, as well as the seasonal and monthly variability of the wind power density, are obtained for six locations along the Spanish coasts. Furthermore, a performance and economic dynamics assessment is presented for four different wind turbine technologies with rated capacities ranging between 3 and 9.5 MW. A further comparison with other locations in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea is presented to provide a critical image of the Spanish wind resources dynamics in the European framework. The results indicate a noticeable gain of wind resources in various locations of the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, with others presenting slight losses.
