1. Insights Into Wind Profile Characteristics in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraSammanfattning : The atmospheric boundary layer in the Arctic is essential for the understanding of climate change and improving regional weather prediction. The aim of this study is to investigate to which degree wind speed profiles retrieved in the Arctic agree with well known wind profile concepts and understand which local impact factors influence the wind speed profile.

3. Biodiversity Management in the Wind Power Industry - Examining Regulations, Incentives, and Corporate Practices Influencing Swedish Wind Power Companies
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystemSammanfattning : The world is transitioning towards a renewable energy system to combat climate change and the wind power industry plays a key role in this shift. However, with the expansion of wind power concerns about its impact on local biodiversity have been raised. LÄS MER
4. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. LÄS MER
5. Emission factors and methods used in climate impact assessments of energy use in Swedish heated buildings - Assessing district heating and electricity as energy source
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesignSammanfattning : When the property- and building industry moves towards new solutions targeting reduced climate impact, this puts pressure on the building owners and companies to calculate the climate impact of buildings. It may seem easy, but there are various methods and guidelines to navigate around. LÄS MER
