While offshore wind farms continue to play a growing part in the renewable energy mix, particularly in the US which recently approved its first major facility off the coast of Massachusetts, there remains a lot of untapped potential in the winds blowin… Continue reading GE designs massive floating turbine to take wind energy into deep water
The US federal government has given the green light to the country’s largest offshore wind farm to date, and one that will greatly expand its capacity to generate this form of renewable energy. The Vineyard Wind 1 project will feature dozens of the wor… Continue reading US approves 800-MW Vineyard Wind as its first major offshore wind farm
Denmark’s Vestas is looking to become an industry leader in offshore wind, and has introduced the V236-15.0 MW turbine to take the fight to GE. The new design’s blades offer the largest swept area in the world.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceT… Continue reading Vestas reveals offshore turbine with world’s largest sweep
Oil giant Shell is planning the biggest wind-to-hydrogen project in Europe, a colossal 10-gigawatt offshore wind farm in the North Sea feeding a massive electrolysis plant on dry land that’ll pump out a million tonnes of clean H2 a year by 2040.Continu… Continue reading Big energy partners join Shell’s giant NortH2 wind-to-hydrogen project
America’s first “commercial scale” offshore wind energy project has decided to use GE’s colossal Haliade-X turbines, the world’s largest and most powerful. Standing 853 ft (260 m) high – as tall as an 85-story building – with a 722-foot (220 m) rotor, … Continue reading Massive 853-foot-tall wind turbines are coming to America’s East Coast
As renewable energy grows in popularity around the world, efforts to cut costs and increase its appeal in every way possible continue. A bug-inspired six-legged robot may have a part to play in this, recently demonstrating how it can carry out inspecti… Continue reading Robot crawls across wind turbine in world-first off-shore “blade walk”
A study by the University of Maryland indicates that new offshore wind farms being constructed on the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia coastal shelf could become a stopover spot for migrating Atlantic salmon and striped bass.Continue ReadingCategory: Science… Continue reading Offshore wind farms could become stopover points for migrating fish
