Speaker: Michael Jefferson, EMC Advisory Board Member, and International Advisory Board Member of the Energy Policy journal
The talk looks closely at the performance of wind energy developments, particularly onshore in the UK and over the past 15 years, and concludes that given the strength of annual mean average wind flows over the UK (especially over Scotland), the performance has been disappointing. For example, in terms of annualised load factors nearly 46% have recently been underperforming according to one of the basic criteria long applied by the industry itself. Explanations are given as to why this is the case along with suggestions for improvement.
The webinar will take place on Zoom at 6 pm GMT on Wednesday, 29th January.
