Wind Energy Applications

Prevent birds and wildlife from entering dangerous areas, as well as preventing mess and liabilities from animal mess. Bird-X products reduce and eliminate birds and wildlife from entering unwanted or dangerous areas for the good of all parties involved. Birds and animals are not harmed by Bird-X products - which are designed to make areas uncomfortable and unwelcoming to animals, forcing them to go elsewhere. Bird-X products have been developed since 1964, hold an excellent BBB rating, and we offer GSA Advantage. Bird-X products are humane, environmentally preferred, poison and trap free, and sold in over 160 countries. The unique line cover both small and large spaces, indoor and out, and include electronic repellers, lasers, and physical barriers.

Solar radiation is not only the driving force behind the Earth’s weather phenomena, it also drives photovoltaic energy production. One day of solar energy received by the Earth exceeds the amount of worldwide energy consumption per year. Exploring this merely inexhaustible source of energy - either by direct transformation of radiant energy into electricity or by indirect energy production via wind, waves, etc. - seems to be the obvious way to go. In this context solar radiation measurements are of primary interest for applications like site-specific solar resource assessments, PV performance evaluation, solar resource forecasting, and so on.

Presto delivers economical and low maintenance options for stable gravel roads and staging areas with the GEOWEB and GEOTERRA load support systems. GEOWEB-confined gravel roads and pads are stronger and more stable using 50% less gravel or sand, and allow access across soft ground and low-lying areas. GEOTERRA construction mats support heavy loading without aggregate infill, yet require no specialized equipment. They are fast to deploy and safe to install for temporary access—and easy to remove after use for minimal site restoration.

One of the largest acoustic consulting firms in Australia was engaged by the New South Wales Department of Planning & Industry to conduct wind farm noise assessments. The goal was to perform a specialist, independent acoustic compliance audit of three major wind farms located near Canberra, Australia’s capital city. The objective of the study was to conduct a detailed noise assessment at residential dwellings near to the wind farms. Three wind farms near Canberra, Australia, were investigated. XL2 Sound Level Meters were operated on a continuous basis, typically over a six week period at each wind farm. The XL2 was battery powered to enable continuous noise logging for two weeks at a time at each residential site. The recorded data was then processed in accordance with the relevant standards specified in the conditions of consent for wind farms.

Biomass energy from gasification, when done responsibly with waste wood or suitable agricultural waste such as nut shells, is often eligible for feed-in tariffs. However, biomass gasification has the advantage of being on-demand, so you can feed renewable energy onto the grid at times when wind and solar are not abundant, enabling you to avoid times when prices are too low due to an excess of wind or solar power being fed to the grid.

For wind resource assessment campaigns in regions with long and cold winters, special measurement systems have to be designed. The challenges of cold climate regions should never be underestimated. Particularly icing is a problem. The met mast construction and the installed sensors have to be chosen carefully. The instruments have to be properly heated by a reliable power system. With our long-term experience in wind measurement and our local installation partners we can offer complete measurement systems robust enough for harsh and cold climates. Ammonit offers standard heating systems as well as individual heating solutions, which combine several power sources suitable for the site.

Prior to setting up a wind farm, the local wind conditions have to be measured for site assessment. The construction of a profitable wind farm demand the most accurate and reliable wind measurement technology. The installed equipment has to perform as precisely as possible as the data quality is essential for designing a reliable and economical wind farm. A small discrepancy in the evaluation of wind speed data drastically multiplies the discrepancy of the calculated wind power. Wind resource assessment systems offered by Ammonit meet the highest standards of quality and are designed for the local site conditions with regard to sensor performance, communication system and power supply.

Fugro EMU Limited is a specialist in renewable energy and has been involved in assisting clients in their site selection process for R2, Scottish Territorial Waters and R3 developments. In the initial site selection process, Fugro EMU will broadly highlight the environmental, socio-economic and technical issues of a given site through a combination of short term consultation, desk based studies and expert knowledge thereby allowing the client to make a site selection based on accepted scientific fact. Once a site has been selected, Fugro EMU’s team of specialist environmental consultants will further assess the site on a number of feasibility factors including geophysical analysis, environmental constraints and current uses.

As is the case in many countries, utility-scale power plants that produce renewable energy at the megawatt level are eligible to receive the Turkish government’s support via financial incentives. These power plants, whose operating costs are much lower than those of conventional power plants, can sell renewable power to electricity distribution companies at a government-guaranteed price over a fixed period of time. Companies or individuals can invest in and develop both licensed and unlicensed renewable energy projects to generate electricity. EkoRE offers investors all essential services to develop solar, wind and biogas power plants under one roof.

Many businesses today are faced with rising energy costs and declining competitiveness. These are some of the reasons why companies are adopting the sustainable and affordable solution of producing their own renewable energy, selling the surplus electricity back to the grid. In Turkey, businesses can install renewable energy systems with a capacity of up to 1 MW without a license, or can apply for a government license to install systems with capacities above 1 MW. Both licensed and unlicensed projects, located within specific electrical zones, can sell their surplus energy to the appropriate electricity distribution company. EkoRE provides a wide range of services for on-grid and off-grid solar, wind and biogas projects. Commercial solar energy applications: - Rooftop - Ground-mounted - Solar car parks
