Complementarity assessment of south Greenland katabatic flows and West Europe wind regimes
Current global environmental challenges require vigorous and diverse actions in the energy sector. One solution that has recently attracted interest consists in harnessing high-quality variable renewable energy resources in remote locations, while using transmission links to transport the power to e...
