Multi-dimensional barrier identification for wind farm repowering in Spain through an expert judgment approach

[EN] Spain was one of the pioneers in the deployment of wind energy systems worldwide and thus since 2014 has a potential for repowering that reaches between 3.3 and 8.7 GW in 2021 (12%–32% of its current installed wind capacity). However, despite the technical and economic advantages, we have obser...

Therefore, we conducted a systematic survey study with academics, promoters, financial experts, manufacturers, operators, maintainers and policymakers to identify and understand the existing real and practical barriers. As a result, we have identified 34 major barriers covering five categories: technical issues, economics, environmental considerations, social concerns, and regulatory and administrative hurdles.

We found that the experts agree that regulatory and administrative barriers have the maximum impact, while economic, environmental and technical barriers have only a mid-high impact. Therefore, we can conclude that, in general, the Administration must develop a concise and stable regulatory framework for all RES, especially for repowering projects, and carry out a review of both the technical requirements and the incentives schemes, with a focus on energy efficiency.SIElsevierIngenieria ElectricaEscuela de Ingenierias Industrial e Informatica2022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032122002970#!http://hdl.handle.net/10612/14518reponame:BULERIA.
