Modelling and control of a variable speed wind turbine driving doubly fed induction generator using three–level PWM converter
The aim of this researcher is to develop a complete wind central model driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) which feeds an AC power grid. For that, two–pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage converters are connected back to back between the rotor terminals of DFIG and the utility grid via a common DC link, in there, our contribution will appear in the utilisation of three levels voltage ...

Iowa Lakes
Location: Estherville, IA Project Start Date: August 2009 Element Markets is helping Iowa Lakes Community College pay for its own wind turbine and teach its students about advanced clean energy. Under a long-term agreement, the college sells us all of the RECs generated by its 1.65 MW wind turbine. We worked with college officials to register the facility in the MRETS tracking system, which ...

Comparative life cycle assessment of 2.0 MW wind turbines
Wind turbines produce energy with virtually no emissions, however, there are environmental impacts associated with their manufacture, installation, and end of life. The work presented examines life cycle environmental impacts of two 2.0 MW wind turbines. Manufacturing, transport, installation, maintenance, and end of life have been considered for both models and are compared using the ReCiPe 2008 ...

Renewable energy - Project references - Case study
Rent-A-Port Energy’s Management’s experience in pioneer offshore wind farms Rent-A-Port Green Energy’s management was the driving force behind the pioneering “far shore” wind farm C-Power. This was the first time ever that wind turbines were installed so far offshore (30 km) and in such great depths of water (30 m). The first phase, comprising six 5 MW wind ...

Cliffs farm wind turbine installation project – network connection and planning advice case study
Background F Culshaw. a diversified farm business at Cliffs Farm in Lancashire, sought advice from Envirolink Northwest about solving delays to its 2.25 MW wind turbine development on land at Cliffs Farm. Envirolink Northwest supported the client through contract negotiations with all parties concerned, and provided post planning consent advice. The advice given helped to achieve £50,000 ...

Life cycle assessment of a 150 MW offshore wind turbine farm at Nysted/Roedsand, Denmark
The purpose of this life cycle assessment (LCA) was to illuminate and describe the potential environmental impacts caused by an offshore wind turbine farm (WTF) throughout its lifetime and use this knowledge in the planning and improvement of future WTFs. The LCA was based on experience from the LCA on Danish electricity and district heating [1] as well as the offshore WTF project at ...

Efficiency stimulus will lower energy bills, says federal report
Depending on your position, the federal stimulus money is either a jobs builder or a national budget buster. The Energy Information Administration offers another take. In a recent analysis, the EIA finds that stimulus money should reduce what consumers and businesses pay to heat, cool and light buildings. The federal agency this month updated its annual energy outlook to compare how energy ...

US wind O&M thrust creates new roles, supplier networks
U.S. wind operators will invest in repowering, digital tools and remote technologies in the coming decade, supported by deeper service and spares networks, analysts and suppliers told New Energy Update. The phasing out of the U.S. federal production tax credit (PTC) is set to profoundly impact wind industry spending and employment trends. The 10-year PTC is set at $23/MWh for projects ...

Floating wind digital twin set to accelerate wave impact learnings
A new digital twin project led by floating wind developer Principle Power will use advanced wave behavior analysis to improve load calculations critical to long-term design efficiency, project partners told New Energy Update. Last month, U.S. group Principle Power announced it would lead a consortium of public and private groups to develop the world's first digital twin software for floating ...

Offshore wind installation vessel capacity to tighten after 2020
The existing fleet of turbine and foundation installation vessels is well suited to serve the European offshore wind market in the short and mid-term but it will not be sufficient to support installation demand after 2020, Michael Guldbrandtsen, senior consultant at MAKE Consulting, told Wind Energy Update. The next 2-3 years will continue to be dominated by orders for jack-up installation ...
