87.5 MW wind farm which includes 35 N90/2500 turbines for Bord Gáis Eireann will be built by Nordex. Nordex has recently started construction works of the Knockacummer wind farm for the state-owned Irish utility Bord Gáis Eireann. In the end of 2012, the utility again opted for Nordex strong-wind turbines and placed an order for ...
The World Wind Energy Association has recently launched the World Wind Energy Report 2012. Below you can find some keypoints: The worldwide wind capacity reached 282 GW, out of which 44’609 Megawatt were added in 2012, more than ever before. Wind power showed a growth rate of 19,2 %, which is the lowest rate in ...
SheerWind funner wind turbine is able to generate 600% more energy than conventional turbines. According to Daryoush Allaei, Sheer Wind’s chief technical officer, a utility-scale installation of these wind turbines — that is a 100 to 500 MW power plant — could cost as low as 1 cent per KWh. For comparison, conventional tower and ...
Offshore wind could provide a lot of energy—but as with photovoltaics, this power supply can be intermittent and unpredictable. A new approach from researchers at MIT could mitigate that problem, allowing the electricity generated by floating wind farms to be stored and then used, on demand, whenever it’s needed. Engineers have conceived of an offshore ...
Vestas has released three new product variants of the 3 MW wind turbine: the V112-3.3 MW, the V117-3.3 MW and the V126-3.3 MW. Vestas upgrades the 3 MW platform The new turbines are based on further optimization of the V112-3.0 MW nacelle in combination with a root extended 55 m blade for the V117-3.3 MW ...
The blade is 62.5 metres long and will be installed on Spain’s first offshore wind turbine. Gamesa has recently started the transportation of a 62.5-meter blade destined for a prototype of the first offshore wind turbine to be installed in Spain. The blade, manufactured at the Aoiz factory (Navarre) is the longest turbine blade ever ...
DONG Energy is exactly halfway in the Danish wind turbine installation project at Anholt Offshore Wind Farm. On Wednesday 6 March 2013 at 14.43, the installation vessel, Sea Jack, had lifted the tower and the nacelle in position on turbine F26, which is positioned at the northern end of Anholt Offshore Wind Farm. 55½ wind ...
