In this research, wind energy potential of a specific region in Western Turkey has been analyzed by using WindPRO software. The analyzed site is located in Ayvacık district of Çanakkale province of Turkey. Two types of wind energy turbines with 3 MW power including Enercon E-101/3000 and Nordex N117/3000 have been selected for the analyses. Weibull distribution has been utilized in the wind energy potential assessment. Also, average wind speed values and prevailing wind directions have been calculated for the selected locations in the analyzed region. The prevailing wind direction was determined for Enercon E-101/3000 and Nordex N117/3000 turbines as NNW and SSE, respectively. Estimated electrical energy generation values for Enercon E-101/3000 and Nordex N117/3000 turbines were obtained between 10177-11925 MWh/year and 9283-10954 MWh/year, respectively. Moreover, shape and scale parameters for each wind directions and annual energy generation values of each location have been calculated within the scope of this work.

“…In order to ensure the structural integrity of underwater gas storage accumulators, detailed structural design and structural dynamic analysis should be conducted. This includes the static, dynamic, and fatigue considerations related to cyclic charging and discharging loads, hydrodynamic loads, and gravitational and geotechnical loads [79]. Detailed structural dynamics analysis can also minimize the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance costs of gas storage accumulators.…”

Underwater compressed air energy storage was developed from its terrestrial counterpart. It has also evolved to underwater compressed natural gas and hydrogen energy storage in recent years. UWCGES is a promising energy storage technology for the marine environment and subsequently of recent significant interest attention. However, it is still immature. In this study, the latest progress in both academic and industrial fields is summarized. Additionally, challenges facing this emerging technology are analyzed. The pros and cons of UWCGES are provided and are differentiated from the terrestrial variant. Technical, economic, environmental, and policy challenges are examined. In particular, the critical issues for developing artificial large and ultra-large underwater gas storage accumulators and effective underwater gas transportation are comprehensively analyzed. Finally, the demand for marine energy storage technology is briefly summarized, and the potential application scenarios and application modes of underwater compressed gas energy storage technology are prospected. This study aims to highlight the current state of the UWCGES sector and provide some guidance and reference for theoretical research and industrial development.

Wind Turbine Technology Trends

et al. 2022

The rise in prices of traditional energy sources, the high dependence of many countries on their import, and the associated need for security of supply have led to large investments in new capacity of wind power plants. Although wind power generation is a mature technology and levelized cost of electricity low, there is still room for its improvement. A review of available literature has indicated that wind turbine development in the coming decade will be based on upscaling wind turbines and minor design improvements. These include further improvements in rotor blade aerodynamics, active control of the rotor blade rotation system, and aerodynamic brakes that will lead to increased power generation efficiency. Improvements in system maintenance and early diagnosis of transmission and power-related faults and blade surface damage will reduce wind turbine downtime and increase system reliability and availability. The manufacture of wind turbines with larger dimensions presents problems of transportation and assembly, which are being addressed by manufacturing the blades from segments. Numerical analysis is increasingly being used both in wind turbine efficiency analysis and in stress and vibration analysis. Direct drive is becoming more competitive with traditional power transmission through a gearbox. The trend in offshore wind farms is to increase the size of wind turbines and to place them farther from the coast and in deeper water, which requires new forms of floating foundations. Due to the different work requirements and more difficult conditions of the marine environment, optimization methods for the construction of offshore substructures are currently being developed. There are plans to use 66-kV cables for power transmission from offshore wind farms instead of the current 33-kV cables. Offshore wind farms can play an important role in the transition to a hydrogen economy. In this context, significant capacity is planned for the production of “green” hydrogen by electrolysis from water. First-generation wind turbines are nearing the end of their service life, so strategies are being developed to repower them, extend their life or dismantle and recycle them.
