A study of trilemma energy balance, clean energy transitions, and economic expansion in the midst of environmental sustainability: New insights from three trilemma leadership

Irfan Khan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of trilemma energy balance and clean energy transitions on economic expansion and environmental sustainability, while considering the role of clean energy and natural resource rents in the trilemma leaders. The findings suggest that trilemma energy balance, clean energy transitions, and natural resource depletion have a positive impact on economic growth, while clean energy discourages this growth. Additionally, trilemma energy balance, clean energy transitions, and clean energy improve environmental sustainability, while natural resource depletion deteriorates it.

Challenges, opportunities, and a research roadmap for downwind wind turbines

Pietro Bortolotti et al.

Summary: The study investigates the challenges and opportunities of downwind wind turbines compared to upwind configurations on a modern offshore wind turbine. Results show that downwind configurations have lower annual energy production but also lower capital costs, resulting in little difference in the levelized cost of energy between the two. Downwind configurations show a mix of advantages and disadvantages, leading to proposed research areas in advanced controls, highly tilted rotors, higher fidelity aerodynamic models, and floating wind.

Inerter-enhanced tuned mass damper for vibration damping of floating offshore wind turbines

Zili Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the use of an inerter-enhanced vibration absorber, the rotational inertia double tuned mass damper (RIDTMD), for damping in-plane vibrations of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). It compares the performance of RIDTMD and TMD in both frequency domain (FD) and time domain (TD), showing that RIDTMD consistently outperforms TMD in suppressing tower side-side vibrations with the cost of slightly larger damper stroke. Both dampers positively influence spar roll motion and blade edgewise vibration.
