The design and installation of offshore wind farms is one of the most exciting and dynamic areas of engineering, with innovation helping to address energy capacity requirements as part of a diverse mix of traditional and renewable developments. However, unlike traditional power generation assets, off...
wind farmsThis chapter examines why U.S. offshore wind farms do not exist and identifies sites most suitable for development based on European offshore wind farms. A survey of current literature indicates that U.S. development is stalled due to a lack of government and financial support. The...
the IBM PC business was sold off to a Chinese company, Lenovo. What had flummoxed IBM was not the pace of technological change — it had long coped with that — but the fact that its old organisational structures had ceased to be an advantage. ...
aHywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps over...
What Are Average Wind Turbine Blade Sizes? The Importance of Blade Size The Largest Wind Turbine Blades Ever The Future of Wind Turbine Blade Size The Impact of Larger Blades on Wind Energy Production Final Thoughts About Wind Turbine Blade Size ...
Every year my wife and I do our best to buy local candy for Easter, even though are kids are now in their 20s. We - or The Easter Bunny - has been getting them the solid chocolate bunny from Nora's since they were old enough to eat chocolate. ...
Without the fear of human-caused climate change and a rising level of government subsidies and mandates, many of these green companies would not exist. It’s doubtful that carbon dioxide pipelines, heavy electric trucks, offshore wind systems, green hydrogen fuel equipment, and EV charging station...
The enormous offshore oil rig was located in the Gulf of Mexico when a catastrophic failure caused a massive explosion and a raging, inextinguishable fire that eventually sunk the rig. The result was the largest oil spill in U.S. history and, as reported by the Press-Register of Southern...
reaching a point where the selling price of food and other basic necessities needs to be unacceptably high to make the overall economic system work. At the same time, wind and solar and other “clean energy” sources are nowhere nearly able to substitute for the quantity of ...
Offshore wind farms play to some oil-company strengths; they know a lot about large metal structures in the North Sea. But solar energy is an architectural innovation. The pieces just don’t fit together like an oil rig or a refinery. As a mass-market, manufactured product it is closer ...
