Wind turbines remove kinetic energy from the atmospheric flow, which reduces wind speeds and limits generation rates of large wind farms. These interactions can be approximated using a vertical kinetic energy (VKE) flux method, which predicts that the maximum power generation potential is 26% of the instantaneous downward transport of kinetic energy using the preturbine climatology. We compare the energy flux method to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional atmospheric model equipped with a wind turbine parameterization over a 105 km2 region in the central United States. The WRF simulations yield a maximum generation of 1.1 We⋅m−2, whereas the VKE method predicts the time series while underestimating the maximum generation rate by about 50%. Because VKE derives the generation limit from the preturbine climatology, potential changes in the vertical kinetic energy flux from the free atmosphere are not considered. Such changes are important at night when WRF estimates are about twice the VKE value because wind turbines interact with the decoupled nocturnal low-level jet in this region. Daytime estimates agree better to 20% because the wind turbines induce comparatively small changes to the downward kinetic energy flux. This combination of downward transport limits and wind speed reductions explains why large-scale wind power generation in windy regions is limited to about 1 We⋅m−2, with VKE capturing this combination in a comparatively simple way.

The modal shallow water reverberation theory and the energy-flux shallow water reverberation theory were combined to get a new energy-flux model of waveguide reverberation based on Perturbation theory. There are only three environmental parameters (P, Q, μ) in the new reverberation model. It has clear physical picture and it is satisfied the waveguide constraint without any adjustable parameters. The new energy-flux reverberation model was compared with the modal reverberation model (full-wave reverberation model). The results show that the new model can explain the shallow water reverberation in most cases. It is shown that the contributions of parameter P and Q are mutual compensated (coupled) for a fixed reverberation data, therefore it is hard to extract both of them simultaneously. Finally, parameters P and μ at different frequencies were extracted from the reverberation data of "Qingdao-2005 experiment" in Yellow sea shallow-water area where the parameter Q has been extracted from mode filtering approach previously.

Abstract Force-Free Electrodynamics for black holes in Anti de Sitter is considered. We present new, energy extracting solutions of Force-Free Electrodynamics in Anti de Sitter-Near Horizon Extremal Kerr and Super-Entropic Near Horizon Extremal Kerr geometries. The relevant equations of motion are derived from an action for force-free plasma surrounding spinning black holes with generic asymptotics. We consider the energy flux of electrodynamic fields in rotating frames to argue that the correct measure for energy extraction is the energy flux measured by a rotating observer in the near horizon region. We illustrate this procedure by application to near horizon solutions in Kerr, AdS-Kerr and BTZ.
