  • Avoiding Greenwashing in Event Marketing: an Exploration of Concepts, Literature and Methods
    Journal of Management and Sustainability; Vol. 7, No. 4; 2017 ISSN 1925-4725 E-ISSN 1925-4733 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Avoiding Greenwashing in Event Marketing: An Exploration of Concepts, Literature and Methods Kai-Michael Griese1, Kim Werner1 & Johannes Hogg2 1 School of Management, University of Applied Science, Osnabrück, Germany 2 School of Management, Fresenius University of Applied Science, Hamburg, Germany Correspondence: Kai-Michael Griese, School of Management, University of Applied Science, Osnabrück, Germany, Caprivistraße 30a, Tel: 49-541-969-3880. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 25, 2017 Accepted: September 20, 2017 Online Published: October 25, 2017 doi:10.5539/jms.v7n4p1 URL: http://doi.org/10.5539/jms.v7n4p1 Abstract Greenwashing, defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “disinformation disseminated by an organization so as to present an environmentally responsible public image” can cause multifarious problems for companies. The phenomenon of greenwashing has, however, not attracted much attention in the event marketing literature to date. The purpose of this paper is twofold. It first describes and analyses the specific characteristics and features of greenwashing in event marketing. It then seeks to identify the current fundamental approaches of how to avoid greenwashing in event marketing and to assess their potential. A two-step literature analysis with complementary search approaches served as a methodical framework. First, journals related to event marketing were screened for the keywords “greenwashing” and “greenwash”. Next, the general literature was consulted for the same keywords. The results clearly demonstrate that the subject of greenwashing has been widely neglected in the event literature.

  • Efficient Probabilistic Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines Based On
    Efficient probabilistic analysis of offshore wind turbines based on time-domain simulations Von der Fakultät für Bauingenieurwesen und Geodäsie der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor-Ingenieur - Dr.-Ing. - genehmigte Dissertation von Clemens Janek Hübler M. Sc. 2019 Hauptreferent: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Raimund Rolfes, Leibniz Universität Hannover Korreferent: Prof. John Dalsgaard Sørensen, M.Sc., Lic.techn., B.Com. Aalborg University Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 11. Januar 2019 Abstract Offshore wind energy plays an important role in the successful implementation of the energy transition. However, without subsidies, it is not yet sufficiently competitive compared to other renewables or conventional fossil fuels. This is why offshore wind turbines have to be structurally optimised with regard to economic efficiency. One possibility to significantly increase economic efficiency is to improve the reliability or at least to assess present reliability levels precisely. For an accurate reliability assessment during the design phase, probabilistic analyses based on time-domain simulations have to be conducted. In this thesis, a methodol- ogy for a comprehensive probabilistic design of offshore wind turbines with special focus on their substructures is developed and applied. All investigations are based on time-domain simulations. This leads to more accurate results compared to semi-analytical approaches that are commonly used for probabilistic modelling at the expense of higher computing times. In contrast to previous probabilistic analyses, considering only particular aspects of the probabilistic design, this work defines a comprehensive analysis that can be split up into the following seven aspects: deterministic load model, resistance model (failure modes), uncer- tainty of inputs, design of experiments, sensitivity analysis, long-term extrapolation/lifetime distribution, and economic effects.

Considering the heterogeneity of the current infrastructures, and in order to keep pace with the dynamics of their operating environment, we should aim to the reduction of their architectural complexity and the addition of new and more efficient technologies and procedures. Furthermore, the integrated management of the Citation: Demertzis, K.; Tsiknas, K.; overall ecosystem requires a collaborative integration strategy which should ensure the end-to-end Taketzis, D.; Skoutas, D.N.; Skianis, interconnection under specific quality standards together with the establishment of strict security C.; Iliadis, L.; Zoiros, K.E.

Received: 11 February 2014; in revised form: 28 May 2014 / Accepted: 9 June 2014 / Published: 23 June 2014 Abstract: Developments in the wind power industry have enabled a new generation of wind turbines with longer blades, taller towers, higher efficiency, and lower maintenance costs due to the maturity of related technologies. Nevertheless, wind turbines are still blind machines because the control center is responsible for managing and controlling individual wind turbines that are turned on or off according to demand for electricity. In this paper, we propose a communication network architecture for smart-wind power farms (Smart-WPFs). The proposed architecture is designed for wind turbines to communicate directly and share sensing data in order to maximize power generation, WPF availability, and turbine efficiency. We also designed a sensor data frame structure to carry sensing data from different wind turbine parts such as the rotor, transformer, nacelle, etc. The data frame includes a logical node ID (LNID), sensor node ID (SNID), sensor type (ST), and sensor data based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-25 standard.
