Offshore windfarm siting in Greece using GIS and TOPSIS
SPYRIDONIDOU S., (Corresponding) VAGIONA D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The deployment of offshore wind power technologies is becoming increasingly important towards the sustainable development of regions. In Greece, wind energy is provided at the time being, only by onshore plants and the interest in investigating the top choices for offshore wind applications in...Read more
A comparison between the past and future expected wind conditions in the European coastal environment of the Mediterranean Sea
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the last years, exploitation of the wind power has been constantly increasing together with the size of the turbines. Furthermore, by 2030 wind energy is expected to supply around 30% of EU’s power demand. Offshore wind represents a significant future opportunity, since resources are abundant...Read more

An analysis of the expected climate change effects in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of the environmental matrix in the context of climate change in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea. The main environmental parameters considered for analysis are wind and waves. The climatic wind fields provided by the Rossby...Read more

Daily wind gusts in relation to mean daily wind speed and atmospheric circulation
(Corresponding) DELIGIORGI D., PHILIPPOPOULOS K., GRANAKIS K.
Topic:
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
An important aspect in the design of wind farms and consequently in wind power production, is the sensitivity of wind turbines to wind gusts. This study aims at estimating the probability of occurrence of daily wind gusts for different atmospheric circulation regimes. The analysis is performed for...Read more
Onshore wind farm siting and energy carrying capacity in the municipality of Aristotle in Chalkidiki – Greece
Drepaniotis I., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Wind power is one of the most environmentally friendly Renewable Energy Sources, as well as one of the rapidly growing and economically viable forms of renewable energy. Today's wind turbines can be considered as a mature and cost-effective technology with reasonable efficiency rates and high...Read more

Site selection of hybrid solar/wind renewable energy systems: A case study from Andros, Greece
Bili A., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The combination of two or more forms of Renewable Energy Sources at the same spatial scale is a highly promising sector, resulting in an increase in the number of installations of hybrid RES systems. In Greece, where abundant resources such as wind and sun are available, the combination of these...Read more

The climate change and relevant negative impacts are currently widely discussed topic. The agricultural soil erosion represent the risks generated also by agricultural activities reflected in soil quality. Rapid climate change can cause the instability of most agricultural and forest ecosystems...Read more

Support Structure Suitability for Offshore Wind Farms Development in Greece based on a Sustainable Site-Selection Framework
(Corresponding) Spyridonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Site-selection and spatial planning form a crucial step toward the successful development of Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs). Deployment of wind turbines in different water depths has raised the issue of selection of the most suitable support structures. In this work, a well-structured site-selection...Read more

Technological solutions for giving a new life to power plants of alternative energy: social, economic, and environmental assessment of end of life scenarios
(Corresponding) Ambrosino C., Giaquinto D., Maselli G., Nesticò A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The resources on the planet are not unlimited and special attention has been paid to alternative energies in recent years.
Alternative (or renewable) energy are all those energy sources that do not come from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). To date, wind and solar energy are the main...Read more

The expected dynamics of the wind conditions in the West Iberian nearshore, in the context of the climate change
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The target area of the present study is the western side of the Iberian coastal environment. Although not so high as in the North or the Baltic seas, the wind power potential can be considered significant in this nearshore. Furthermore, since this coastal environment is rich also in terms of other...Read more
