“…Based on climate and ERA-interim reanalysis dataset in NH belt from November 2019 to March 2020, we compared the average rate of humidity and temperature between five cities in European Countries with significant community transmission of COVID-19 versus five cities of North Africa which are expected to be less exposed to COVID-19. The information recorded by the meteorological stations has been used, since these are more accurate than satellite data [97]. As shown in Table 3, the average amount of humidity is very close between European and African selected sites.…”

Over the past two decades, there have been two major outbreaks where the crossover of animal Betacoronaviruses to humans has resulted in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). In December 2019, a global public health concern started with the emergence of a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019 novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV) which has rapidly spread all over the world from its origin in Wuhan, China. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the Betacoronavirus genus, which includes human SARS-CoV, MERS and two other human coronaviruses (HCoVs), HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1. The fatality rate of SARS-CoV-2 is lower than the two previous coronavirus epidemics, but it is faster spreading and the large number of infected people with severe viral pneumonia and respiratory illness, showed SARS-CoV-2 to be highly contagious. Based on the current published evidence, herein we summarize the origin, genetics, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, preventions, diagnosis and up to date treatments of SARS-CoV-2 infections in comparison with those caused by SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Moreover, the possible impact of weather conditions on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is also discussed. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to reconsider the two previous pandemics and provide a reference for future studies as well as therapeutic approaches.

“…The funds are mainly solved through internal financing and external financing (Zhang et al 2015). The financing cost of offshore wind power investment can be reduced by broadening direct financing channels, improving private financing mechanism, introducing insurance policies to encourage offshore wind power enterprises, and establishing effective international reinsurance channels (Zhang and Huang 2018). At present, China's offshore wind power is in the stage of high-speed development, and the offshore wind power market has broad space and promising prospects (Xu et al 2019).…”

“…It is endorsed as having the emission-free ability, green, and is also subsidies by state support and credit benefits for taxes (Nazir et al 2020c ). What’s more, it has become one of the fastest developing renewable energy in the world with the joint efforts of all countries (Guo et al 2019 ). Wind energy stands out in the process of energy transformation because of its abundant reserves, clean and efficient advantages.…”

“…MCDM methods and satellite technology for identifying suitable areas of wind power plants have become increasingly popular in site selection decision-making (Shao et al 2020 ; Nezhad et al 2020 ). Then, a precise assessment of wind resources is considered of paramount significance for the construction of offshore wind farms (Murthy and Rahi 2017 ; Guo et al 2019 ). Ranthodsang et al ( 2020 ) presented an offshore wind resource assessment and offshore wind power feasibility analysis on the western coast of Thailand.…”

As a new and cost-effective renewable energy power generation technology, offshore wind power is getting more and more attention. The development of offshore wind power industry is affected by policy-making, technology management, resources and environment, market supply and demand, and the relationship among the influencing factors is complex. This paper analyzes the factors that affect offshore wind power industry from a unique and comprehensive perspective. Fourteen factors are selected and interpretative structural model (ISM) is established to study the relationship between the influencing factors of offshore wind power industry. The results show that 14 influencing factors can be divided into five levels: the first level is the surface factors, including the economic incentive policy, operation mechanism, industrial chain, energy market mechanism, investment, and financing mechanism; the second and third levels are the intermediate factors, including generation cost, operation management, and offshore wind power technology; the fourth and fifth levels are deep-seated factors, including development planning and grid price, site selection, R&D investment, environmental protection policy, and offshore wind power supply. Deep-seated factors have a direct impact on the intermediate factors, the intermediate factors have an important impact on the surface factors, and the surface factors directly affect the development of offshore wind power industry. The influence of the 14 factors selected in this paper on offshore wind power industry is from bottom to top, from deep to shallow.

“…Considering this issue, evaluation and analysis of wind sources play a key role in selecting suitable locations for the construction of OW farms. Wind energy assessment, planning and installations [55] must be carried out considering important parameters such as mean wind speed (MWS), wind energy density (WPD) and Weibull parameters [56].…”

A SWOT Analysis for Offshore Wind Energy Assessment Using Remote-Sensing Potential

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The elaboration of a methodology for accurately assessing the potentialities of blue renewable energy sources is a key challenge among the current energy sustainability strategies all over the world. Consequentially, many researchers are currently working to improve the accuracy of marine renewable assessment methods. Nowadays, remote sensing (RSs) satellites are used to observe the environment in many fields and applications. These could also be used to identify regions of interest for future energy converter installations and to accurately identify areas with interesting potentials. Therefore, researchers can dramatically reduce the possibility of significant error. In this paper, a comprehensive SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis is elaborated to assess RS satellite potentialities for offshore wind (OW) estimation. Sicily and Sardinia—the two biggest Italian islands with the highest potential for offshore wind energy generation—were selected as pilot areas. Since there is a lack of measuring instruments, such as cup anemometers and buoys in these areas (mainly due to their high economic costs), an accurate analysis was carried out to assess the marine energy potential from offshore wind. Since there are only limited options for further expanding the measurement over large areas, the use of satellites makes it easier to overcome this limitation. Undoubtedly, with the advent of new technologies for measuring renewable energy sources (RESs), there could be a significant energy transition in this area that requires a proper orientation of plans to examine the factors influencing these new technologies that can negatively affect most of the available potential. Satellite technology for identifying suitable areas of wind power plants could be a powerful tool that is constantly increasing in its applications but requires good planning to apply it in various projects. Proper planning is only possible with a better understanding of satellite capabilities and different methods for measuring available wind resources. To this end, a better understanding in interdisciplinary fields with the exchange of updated information between different sectors of development, such as universities and companies, will be most effective. In this context, by reviewing the available satellite technologies, the ability of this tool to measure the marine renewable energies (MREs) sector in large and small areas is considered. Secondly, an attempt is made to identify the strengths and weaknesses of using these types of tools and techniques that can help in various projects. Lastly, specific scenarios related to the application of such systems in existing and new developments are reviewed and discussed.
