This data set containts the averaged global solar radiation measurement values, the averaged temperature values, the averaged power generation values of ground fixed PV panels, and the averaged power generation values of sun-tracking PV panels which are collected from the Renewable Energy Research Home (RERH) that was installed at Anadolu University Iki Eylul Campus in Eskisehir, Turkey, for the winter season. The RERH is located in 39.78 latitude, 30.52 longitude at 794 m altitude.

1.Perennial bioenergy systems, such as switchgrass and restored prairies, are alternatives to commonly used annual monocultures such as maize. Perennial systems require lower chemical input, provide greater ecosystem services such as carbon storage, greenhouse gas mitigation, and support greater biodiversity of beneficial insects. However, biomass harvest will be necessary in managing these perennial systems for bioenergy production, and it is unclear how repeated harvesting might affect ecosystem services. 2.In this study, we examined how repeated production-scale harvesting of diverse perennial grasslands influences vegetation structure, natural enemy communities (arthropod predators and parasitoids), and natural biocontrol services in two states (Wisconsin and Michigan, USA) over multiple years. 3.We found that repeated biomass harvest reduced litter biomass and increased bare ground cover. Some natural enemy groups, such as ground-dwelling arthropods, decreased in abundance with harvest whereas others, such as foliar-dwelling arthropods increased in abundance. The disparity in responses is likely due to how different taxonomic groups utilize vegetation and differences in dispersal abilities. 4.At the community level, biomass harvest altered community composition, increased total arthropod abundance, and decreased evenness but did not influence species richness, diversity, or biocontrol services. Harvest effects varied with time, diminishing in strength both within the season (for total abundance and evenness), across seasons (for evenness), or were consistent throughout the duration of the study (for community composition). Greater functional redundancy and compensatory responses of the different taxonomic groups may have buffered against the potentially negative effects of harvest on biocontrol services. 5.Synthesis and applications. Our results show that in the short-term, repeated harvesting of perennial grasslands (when insect activity is low) consistently altered vegetation structure but had mixed effects on natural enemy communities and no discernable effects on biocontrol services. However, the long-term effects of repeated harvesting on vegetation structure, natural enemies, and other arthropod-derived ecosystem services such as pollination and decomposition remain largely unknown.

This data set contains time-resolved measurements of a scaled model wind turbine wake, acquired using tomographic PIV, undergoing a step change in yaw angle. The measurements consist of 4 volumes, centered around 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D downstream of the turbine. Here, distance is expressed by the size of the rotor diameter D. The measurements include the three-dimensional locations and velocity components.

These data refer to the second test campaign of the SHIVER project, conducted in the Ice and Wave tank of Aalto University in spring 2023.Basin tests were performed to gather data on ice action, ice-structure interaction and ice scaling to predict ice-induced vibration of offshore structures (e.g., offshore wind turbines, lighthouses, channel markers).Tests were conducted with a real-time hybrid test setup, which had been used during the first test campaign of the SHIVER project (go to publication, go to data). Small modification of the setup allowed to test substructures with different diameters and shape at the water line and improved data reliability.Detailed explanations of the test setup, test matrix, and test results are provided in a manuscript submitted to the journal Cold Regions Science and Technology. All Metadata will be included upon acceptance of the manuscript. Refer to the README.pdf file for more information about the data uploaded. Contact Tim C. Hammer (t.c.hammer@tudelft.nl) for additional information.
