Plus, we’ll look at the distinctions between offshore and onshore wind farms– and much more! What are offshore wind farms? ...
According to the monitoring of the Central Meteorological Observatory, Super Typhoon “Doksuri” made landfall along the coast of Jinjiang, Fujian Province at 9:55 am on July 28. The maximum wind force near the center was level-15 (50m/s), making it the strongest typhoon to make landfall in China this year. It’s the second strongest typhoon to make landfall in Fujian by complete ...
The continuous rise in carbon dioxide emissions for the last 30 years has led to increased atmospheric temperatures today. And the environment is getting more and more polluted due to the rapid industrialization and usage of fossil fuels for energy production. That is why there is a growing global demand for sustainable electricity, ensuring access to clean and affordable energy in order to stop ...
The data to retain about wind power Wind energy can be used at any time of the day, so the use of batteries to accumulate surpluses is optional. ...
Decarbonization of the power sector plays a key role in achieving climate neutrality and net-zero targets in line with the 1.5ºC goal of the Paris Agreement. Therefore, the rapid transformation from fossil to renewable energy sources such as wind or solar is becoming increasingly important and crucial for countries aiming for ambitious climate targets. Despite the global pandemic, the ...
“This strategy is still paying off,” says company CFO Jörg Fischer, not least because of the persistent trend towards renewable energy sources, especially in electricity generation: according to Fraunhofer ISE, renewables accounted for 55 percent of net power generation in Germany in the first quarter of 2020. Onshore and offshore wind power was ...
Linked to this, the global levelized cost of electricity for renewable sources reached historic lows – a decade ago, onshore wind power for example was at more than $100/MWh, but if those trends continued the LCOE of best-in-class solar and wind projects would be less than $20/MWh by 2030. ...

As renewable energy developers, managers, and consultants, we want answers: what really makes for effective wind asset management services? Today, as we round up a decade of actively campaigning for renewable energy, onshore wind farms have become one of the cheapest sources of power. A recent report by Bloomberg NEF revealed that the levelized ...

It is supported with £148m funding from the UK’s International Climate Finance through the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), and to date has agreed contracts with 25 renewable energy projects across 13 countries, employing five different technologies (solar home systems, solar PV mini-grids, grid-connected solar PV, run-of-river hydro, and ...
Since 2012, Mitsubishi and Eneco have partnered to develop three offshore wind projects in Europe for a total capacity of 1.2 GW, and a 48 MW battery storage project. ...
Global onshore wind speeds are rising, new study finds Global onshore wind speeds have risen since 2010, after decades of decline, boosting potential wind energy by around 17% between 2010 and 2017, according to a new academic study published in Nature. Rising wind speeds have increased U.S. ...
“As the new generation of 5X MW onshore wind turbines are made available by manufacturers like Nordex, developers will have opportunities to either repower existing projects or develop in areas with a high demand for power but lower wind resource,” Jakubiak said. ...
Lazard estimates utility-scale solar costs at $36/MWh-$44/MWh for crystalline technology and $32/MWh-$42/MWh for thin-film plants. Onshore wind costs are estimated at $28/MWh-$54/MWh, down by around 4% since the same time last year. Including U.S. government subsidies, the average cost of building new utility-scale solar is estimated at $36/MWh with ...

The WFA project consists of three 8 MW MHI Vestas offshore wind turbines, the largest ever used for a floating wind farm, attached to Principle Power's semi-submersible floating wind base. ...
Under this program, individuals will be taught specialized skills in the fields of solar generation, battery storage, and offshore and onshore wind. An earn-while-you-learn program, this two-and-a-half-year apprenticeship guarantees participants a job with a Michigan-based company. ...
Italy already has 10 GW of onshore wind capacity installed, and only one offshore wind farm in Mediterranean waters, which is currently under construction. ...
New technologies such as thermal imaging blade inspection equipment are providing valuable insights, Denver Bane, Onshore Wind Services Strategy Leader at GE Renewable Energy, told the Dallas conference. ...
Self-diagnosing turbines, real-time output maximization and “crane less” maintenance will soon impact wind operations, cutting labour costs and increasing generation revenue, Denver Bane, Onshore Wind Services Strategy Leader at GE Renewable Energy, told the Wind Operations Dallas 2019 conference.
