Wind is one of the cleanest renewable energy resources. Through the “Thousand Wind Turbines Project”, Taiwan is planning to increase the proportion of power generation from renewable energy and has set a target of 5.7 GW for offshore wind by 2025. The
Preliminary plan of underwater environmental monitoring in the offshore wind farm in the western sea of Taiwan The offshore wind energy is more economic than the otherwise renewable energy. Therefore, many countries have already owned the offshore wind farms or plan... HC Chan,ME Fang,SH Chen...
There’s a bit of a stooshie going on in Ontario renewables circles about a proposed 5km minimum shoreline setback for offshore wind turbines in the Great Lakes. This pretty much kills most projects through infrastructure costs — deep lake foundations are expensive, as is submarine cable...
There is a good understanding of the growth capabilities of the windfarms in the near future, as such we have a good understanding of vessel specifications required to cater for this growth. We expect some level of versatility related to upcoming NB projects where vessels built today...
Walney Extension offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea has been given consent from the government to go ahead, which if built could triple the size of Walney Offshore wind farm, already one of the biggest wind farms in the world. The wind farm is expected to create 230 new jobs over...
Increasing environmental issues have caused cleaner forms of energy such as offshore wind power to be exploited. Despite the benefits of offshore wind power, the construction and operation of the turbines have potentially negative effects on marine mammals. Marine mammals rely heavily on their percept...
Do you think it’s going to spread everywhere, and, you know, the turbines will be huge, or is it kind of limiting, and then also after that, I just kind of want to get into any other technologies you see out there that’ll streamline the process of building more wind farms. ...
The present study explores the relationship between the characteristics, performance, and sustainability of ports that will, in the future, support the logistical chains of new floating offshore wind farms, considering the crucial advancement and expansion of the offshore wind energy sector for the tr...
Scottish Power,a major developer and owner of wind installations, said the government would also have to loosen planning for the wind farms. Chief executive Keith Anderson said that there’s “no shortage of capital or investor appetite in offshore wind” but said reaching the 40GW target would...
Table 1 Taiwan Offshore Wind Plant Projects (Capacity/MW) Ørsted, the biggest capacity winner last year, is still expanding their business in the same sea area near the two wind farms which are consent authorized. On 16 Aug 2019, Ørsted stated that onshore construction work for Greater ...
