Resting concerns about wasted energy
Recently, opponents of wind farm developments, as in those hanging tightly on to the notion of oil is all, have suggested that an increase in wind farm footprints could actually damage the environment by causing dirty air. The phrase is commonly used by sailors to describe the drop in air movement caused by another boats sails catching the breeze. However, this situation is different from wind ...

Maintenance Manager to control operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms
Maintenance of wind farms is of increasing importance. Especially in remote areas, where logistics and accessibility are restricted, costs of preventive as well as corrective maintenance form a substantial part of the costs of electricity. The importance of a tool that assists in feedback to the design, failure logging, configuration control and maintenance planning is evident. This paper ...

Mapping the power of wind
Online mapping solutions are playing a growing role in the search for wind farm locations, says Justin Saunders of eMapSite. MORE than a dozen renewable energy applications have been approved by the Scottish Government since May 2007 in what Energy Minister Jim Mather has called a “renewables surge”. This autumn’s opening of the Dalswinton and Minsca wind farms in Dumfries and Galloway is the ...

Renewable, clean energy: the petroleum footprint - wind farms under analysis
This paper presents a methodology to assess projects for the generation of clean, renewable energy. Such methodology is applied here to estimate the consumption of fossil fuels (referred to as 'oil'), required for the construction, operation and maintenance of a wind farm consisting of 97 turbines of 3 MW each. Results show that such consumption represents a conservative 8–9% of the total energy ...

How Much Protection Do Heritage Sites Have From Wind Turbines
A heritage site is a location that is important to the cultural or historical heritage of a town, city or country. Wind turbines are large devices used to generate renewable energy. Both equally important, but when pitted against each other lawyers have decided that heritage sites are more important than renewable energy. The matter was brought to light in January, when a wind farm company ...
