The U.S. offshore sector must create regional East Coast supply chains and public-private initiatives that accelerate training and port investments to ensure long-term competitiveness, leading developers told the U.S. Offshore Wind 2019 Conference. New Jersey's decision last week to select Orsted’s giant 1.1 GW Ocean Wind ...
A pertinent task during wind power project development studies is the post-processing analysis of the wind resource simulation results. There is widespread interest in extracting more information from typical commercial software – like WindSim, OpenWind, Meteodyn, WAsP – at a minimal cost during the prospection and/or ...
Classical criteria such as Q and delta are hereby confronted with a new definition. A pertinent task for wind power project development studies is the post-processing analysis of the wind resource simulations in order to improve the project design. ...
The main objective of this paper is to investigate some key issues related to the atmospheric stability for the development of wind power projects, aiming to contribute to increase the reliability of this source and its safe insertion into the energy matrix. It is also important to note that the techniques and methodologies to be described were ...
None of the existing vessels are large enough to support turbine ratings beyond 10 MW, he said. As developers look to build projects in deeper waters and farther from shore, the availability of the right type of vessels could be one of the main risks for projects. According to John Oosthoek, market- and business intelligence manager at Royal ...
UK offshore load factors accelerate on tech breakthroughs: 10-year study The Crown Estate’s Offshore Wind Operational report 2015 shows there has been a gradual increase in the load factor for the UK fleet since 2004 on the back of more productive wind turbines, wind farms being built at windier sites and improved plant availability. ...
Brazilian wind developers may increasingly have to factor transmission links into their operations and maintenance (O&M) plans if grid connection delays persist in the market. ...
Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. ...
