INTRODUCTION Welcome to the first edition of the free, twice yearly Wind Power Research Review. These Reviews provide the very latest and up-to-date access to all of the important industry developments, to the literature in both Journals and books, and to the content and availability of University programmes. This edition focuses on Wind power, but companion editions covering wave & tidal and solar are also available. These new reviews are designed to make use of the speed and sophistication of internet technologies and to recognise the increasing number of on-line research journals offering open access to the original papers. In this edition we list more than 1,800 papers published during calendar 2013 in the main journals and have authoritatively identified the 50 or so of direct relevance to wind power. If you have any questions, corrections, omissions or suggestions, please contact me and the editorial team on j.hardisty@hull.ac.uk If you are a site or technology developer or supply chain and servicing organisation, consultancy or a publisher, programme director or conference organiser and would like to advertise in forthcoming editions, please contact Cassi Davison at reNews on +44 (0) 1962 890 440 cassi@reNews.biz Finally, if you like the fast and free access to information provided by these publications, please pass the web site on to friends and colleagues www.renewable-energy-research-reviews.com Best wishes reNews is the No.1 source for news on the Renewable Energy industry.

Professor Jack Hardisty, Managing Editor Department of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences The University of Hull, HU6 7RX, UK Windcat Workboats owns and operates a fleet of 35 offshore crew transfer vessels, with more under construction. With a strong focus and commitment to safety and operational excellence we do not only provide a vessel, we provide a service. Our full time QHSE Management team ensures compliance with the high standards of the large companies in the offshore industry and continuous improvement of internal procedures. Our company is accredited according ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Our in-house engineers and crew maintain the vessels to the highest standards to achieve high availability so the clients can focus on the goals of their operation without interruption. With a variety of vessels and years of experience in the offshore industry we are happy to sit down with clients to discuss the optimum selection of vessels and offshore strategy. Any specific design elements which may need to be incorporated in the design can be discussed to review the best way to accommodate these. Page 2 Wind Power Research Review Winter 2014 2.
