Preliminary Study into Bird Research Methods for the MEP-NSW

The Dutch government policy is aimed at increasing the share of renewable energy in the national power supply. One of the possibilities in this regard is the use of wind power. In 1997, the Dutch cabinet decided to launch a marine-based pilot project, the Near Shore Wind Park (NSW). Experiences gained from this demonstration project will be...

Offshore siting of windenergy conversion systems

In a densely populated country such as The Netherlands it is almost impossible to install large numbers of large windturbines on the mainland. That was the main reason to investigate the possibilities of siting the windturbines offshore on the Dutch part of the North Sea Continental Shelf, with a further advantage of a higher windfactor. The...
