We have gathered data on the power generation of seven different PV modules from three demonstration sites in Oslo, Touzer, and Sevilla for a comprehensive analysis. This data was sourced from TIGO cloud for the PV modules and Solcast, an open-source platform, for historical weather information. The data set is spanning from May 2021 to November 2023. These datasets are characterized by high-resolution recordings taken every 5 minutes.

This dataset entails various structural material data that was used to provide additional evidence for arguments presented in publication "Deposition of Sn-Zr-Se precursor by thermal evaporation and PLD for the synthesis of SnZrSe3 thin films". Mainly data consists of: SEM, XRD, Raman, Auger and TGA raw data. Summary of results is provided in Extended_data.pdf file

This is the dataset used for running the fourth Blind Test of the FarmConners Wind Farm Flow Control Benchmark. The Blind Test was performed with an extensive dataset gathered while testing a cluster of three scaled wind turbines within a large boundary layer wind tunnel. The experimental dataset has been compared against the predictions provided by 5 different control-oriented wind farm flow models. The resulting comparison is described in the paper "FarmConners Wind Farm Flow Control Benchmark: Blind Test Results, Part 2", by Campagnolo et al, (2023). The dataset consists of: measurements of the flow within the wake shed by one or two machines, as well as measurements of the power, loads (on the rotating shaft and at tower base), and pitch/yaw/torque actuators states of the three scaled machines. The measurements have been performed under a wide range of inflow and machines operating conditions. The time series of the measured data are provided in the format of Matlab structures saved in .mat files. Predictions provided by the models used by the Blind Test participants Matlab scripts used for comparing the experimental dataset and the numerical predictions provided by the Blind Test participants Additional data provided to the Blind Test participants. This includes a FAST model of the scaled wind turbine and the mapping of the inflow of the empty wind tunnel.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 6, 2023 https://doi.org/10.3389/ffgc.2023.1240235 ABSTRACT. Protection forests play a key role in protecting settlements, people, and infrastructures from gravitational hazards such as rockfalls and avalanches in mountain areas. Rapid climate change is challenging the role of protection forests by altering their dynamics, structure, and composition. Information on local- and regional-scale impacts of climate change on protection forests is critical for planning adaptations in forest management. We used a model of forest dynamics (ForClim) to assess the succession of mountain forests in the Eastern Alps and their protective effects under future climate change scenarios. We investigated eleven representative forest sites along an elevational gradient across multiple locations within an administrative region, covering wide differences in tree species structure, composition, altitude, and exposition. We evaluated protective performance against rockfall and avalanches using numerical indices (i.e., linker functions) quantifying the degree of protection from metrics of simulated forest structure and composition. Our findings reveal that climate warming has a contrasting impact on protective effects in mountain forests of the Eastern Alps. Climate change is likely to not affect negatively all protection forest stands but its impact depends on site and stand conditions. Impacts were highly contingent to the magnitude of climate warming, with increasing criticality under the most severe climate projections. Forests in lower-montane elevations and those located in dry continental valleys showed drastic changes in forest structure and composition due to drought-induced mortality while subalpine forests mostly profited from rising temperatures and a longer vegetation period. Overall, avalanche protection will likely be negatively affected by climate change, while the ability of forests to maintain rockfall protection depends on the severity of expected climate change and their vulnerability due to elevation and topography, with most subalpine forests less prone to loosing protective effects. Proactive measures in management should be taken in the near future to avoid losses of protective effects in the case of severe climate change in the Alps. Given the heterogeneous impact of climate warming, such adaptations can be aided by model-based projections and high local resolution studies to identify forest stand types that might require management priority for maintaining protective effects in the future.
