Saturation wind power potential and its implications for wind energy.

Wind turbines convert kinetic to electrical energy, which returns to the atmosphere as heat to regenerate some potential and kinetic energy. As the number of wind turbines increases over large geographic regions, power extraction first increases linearly, but then converges to a saturation potential not identified previously from physical principles or turbine properties. These saturation poten...

Modern fat technology: what is the potential for heart health?

Saturated and trans-fatty acids raise total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and are known to increase the risk of CHD, while dietary unsaturated fatty acids play important roles in maintaining cardiovascular health. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet often involves many complex dietary changes. Modifying the composition of foods high in saturated fat, particularly those ...

Impacts of High Wind Power Penetration on the Frequency Response Considering Wind Power Reserve

With high wind power penetration, imbalance between generation and consumption is increased, and as a consequence the frequency deviation from the nominal value will be magnified. For frequency control purpose in conventional power systems, the synchronous generators are only responsible. However, it is expected that the renewable energy sources (RESs) are also needed to contribute in frequency...

The ecological impacts of marine debris: unraveling the demonstrated evidence from what is perceived.

Anthropogenic debris contaminates marine habitats globally, leading to several perceived ecological impacts. Here, we critically and systematically review the literature regarding impacts of debris from several scientific fields to understand the weight of evidence regarding the ecological impacts of marine debris. We quantified perceived and demonstrated impacts across several levels of biolog...
