Large eddy simulation study of fully developed wind-turbine array boundary layers

Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Marc Calaf Bracons

It is well known that when wind turbines are deployed in large arrays, their efficiency decreases due to complex interactions among themselves and with the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). For wind farms whose length exceeds the height of the ABL by over ...

Comprehensive system analysis of a multipurpose run-of-river power plant with holistic qualitative assessment

Anton Schleiss, Erik Bollaert, Philippe Heller

Alpine rivers have been channelized by significant river training works in the past two centuries and are now disconnected from their natural environment. In adition, their flow regime is often affected by hydropower plant operation. Also the risk of flood ...

Flood retention in alpine catchments equipped with complex hydropower schemes - A case study of the upper Aare catchment in Switzerland

Anton Schleiss, Martin Peter Bieri, Frédéric Jordan, Alain Fankhauser

The simulation of run-off in alpine catchment areas is an important issue for the optimal operation of hydropower plants for normal flow conditions, but also during flood events. A semi-lumped numerical approach combines hydrological modelling and operatio ...

Generation Capacity Investments in Competitive Electricity Markets: A Preliminary Assessment after 10 years of Liberalization in Europe

Matthias Finger, Bastian Wolfgang Schwark

Balancing supply and demand in energy markets is not an easy task. Competitive markets oblige private actors to justify their investments towards their shareholders by appropriate rates of return. Consequently, electricity markets may lead to under-investm ...
