Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes, Photovoltaics and Wind || Wind Energy
摘要： Wind energy is an indirect form of solar energy; the solar heating of the atmosphere along with the earth’s rotation creates planetary and local wind patterns. In this chapter the wind resource is described and a method for reducing wind data to a useful mathematical form is presented. A simplified theory of wind turbines is then presented. This simplified theory leads to a basic understanding of the characteristics of actual wind turbines. Combining the analytical description of the wind resource with the characteristic of an actual wind turbine leads to a prediction of electrical energy production. Much about wind energy is not discussed in this chapter, such as the complex meteorology that produces favorable wind sites, the aerodynamics of turbine blades, the needed controls for producing acceptable electrical waveforms, the mechanical aspects of gears trains and tower structures, the visual and avian siting issues, and noise problems.

Recovering the “new twin”: Analysis of secondary neodymium sources and recycling potentials in Europe
摘要： Sustainable management strategies for securing long–term supply of rare earth elements is priority for Europe due to a complex and interlinked production chain and its dependence on Chinese export. Among rare earth elements, neodymium captured most attention due to its essential role in a wide spectrum of applications including green–energy technologies such as wind turbines and electric vehicles. Being complementary to primary production, end–of–life recycling would diversify neodymium supply, relieve the Chinese dominance on primary production and contrast the balance problem. However, neodymium recycling at end–of–life is not yet in place. In this work, we developed a dynamic material ?ow model to investigate neodymium stocks and ?ows in the EU–28 to 2016. The analysis enabled a detailed investigation of secondary sources of neodymium, which set essential boundary conditions for material recovery and recycling. We found that roughly up to 50% of the annual neodymium demand in the EU–28 could be met by domestic secondary supply, if latent recycling potentials were turned into actual capacity. Signi?cant energy savings and GHG emissions cut could be also attained. However, product design, end–of–life collection, and scrap price issues are primary obstacles to neodymium recovery. Thus, unless going beyong those limits, establishing and maintaining a sustainable recycling chain for neodymium in the EU–28 will remain problematic.
