Research and Markets: the Future of Global Offshore Wind Power: Global Warming Pushing Renewable Sources of Energy towards the Top of the Power Generation Agenda.Business Editors DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2004 Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of The Future of Global Offshore Wind Power: The technology, economics and impact of wind power generation to their offering. Recent environmental awareness resulting particularly from the phenomenon of global warming global warming, the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth's lower atmosphere as a result of the increase in greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution. has pushed renewable sources of energy towards the top of the power generation agenda. This has helped promote wind power as the most cost effective of the renewable technologies. The Future of Global Wind Power: the technology, economics and impact of wind power generation is a management report that analyses the prospects for offshore wind power generation across Europe Europe (y  r`əp), 6th largest continent, c.4,000,000 sq mi (10,360,000 sq km) including adjacent islands (1992 est. pop. 512,000,000). , North
America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , Japan and the rest of the world. It provides key data on the
trends in wind power generation, to help you predict where and when
opportunities in offshore wind power generation will occur.
The report explains how to identify potential sites and use advances in technology ensure the most effective use of resources. It also details the environmental costs and benefits of offshore wind farms with reference to key stakeholders Stakeholders All parties that have an interest, financial or otherwise, in a firm-stockholders, creditors, bondholders, employees, customers, management, the community, and the government. . These impacts are examined with reference to national, European European emanating from or pertaining to Europe. European bat lyssavirus see lyssavirus. European beech tree fagussylvaticus. European blastomycosis see cryptococcosis. and International regulatory frameworks. Forecasts to 2020 are included in respect of future capacity and changes in costs resulting from scale and technological advances. Key issues addressed in this new management - The operational and installation costs of wind power - Legislative and regulatory constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference. ["CONSTRAINTS: A Language for Expressing Almost-Hierarchical Descriptions", G.J. Sussman et al, Artif Intell 14(1):1-39 (Aug 1980)]. on wind power - Environmental costs and benefits - Geographical potential for offshore wind farms - Future outlook for future offshore capacity and generation The Future of Global Offshore Wind Power: the technology, economics and impact of wind power generation is based upon unique expert analysis and research, the results of which will explain: - How much of the world's power consumption could be catered for by offshore wind. - The factors must be taken into account when planning an offshore wind farm. - Differences between the scale and distribution of costs for offshore and land wind farms - The drivers and resistors likely to affect future development of offshore wind power - Growth opportunities for the future. - Forecasts for market trends until 2020 The Answers to Your Questions - What are the main advantages and disadvantages of offshore wind power and which factors need to be addressed during an environmental impact assessment? - What are offshore wind power generation costs, and how do they compare to other fuels such as coal, oil, nuclear and gas? - What wind speed is needed to make offshore wind farms economically viable and where can these conditions be found? - What is the expected lifespan lifespan Longevity Epidemiology The genetically endowed limit to life for a person, if free of exogenous risk factors. See Average lifespan, Life expectancy. of an offshore wind turbine turbine, rotary engine that uses a continuous stream of fluid (gas or liquid) to turn a shaft that can drive machinery. A water, or hydraulic, turbine is used to drive electric generators in hydroelectric power stations. , how will this change in the future? - How has installed capacity grown over the last three years and what is the forecast growth between now and 2020? - What is the threshold of offshore wind power as a percentage of national generating capacity? Global Analysis The conditions for offshore wind farms vary in different parts of the globe. This report provides a closer look at the conditions under which offshore wind farms will thrive.
