Offshore wind power and wave energy foundations can increase local abundances of fish and crabs. The reef-like constructions also favour for example blue mussels and barnacles. What's more, it is possible to increase or decrease the abundance of various species by altering the structural design of foundation. This was shown by Dan Wilhelmsson of the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, in a recently published dissertation.
Crownbutte Wind Power, a developer of merchant wind power parks in North Dakota, has completed its review of geotechnical reports from Braun Intertec Corporation of Fargo, ND. These reports are based on a geotechnical survey that was completed in April 2009 at the Crownbutte’s Gascoyne I 19.5 megawatt wind project site in Bowman County, ND.
Calpine Corporation has entered into a contract to provide the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) wind integration services. The requirements of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will be met by combining the procurement of intermittent renewable wind energy generation with the vital backstop of a flexible and reliable natural gas-fired portfolio.
RBC Bearings Incorporated has received clean energy manufacturing federal tax credits totaling $8.3 million from two awards for the development of its wind turbine bearing facility in Houston, Texas.
Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) has granted approval to Greengate Power Corporation for the construction and operation of its Halkirk I Wind Project. The company has scheduled to commence operations of the facility during the first quarter of 2011. The construction of the project is expected to begin during later part of the year 2010.
GE has signed contracts with HECIC New Energy to supply 88 wind turbines for three new projects that are to come up in Hebei and Shanxi Provinces. HECIC New Energy is one of leading wind energy developers in China. The country is currently the fourth largest producer of wind energy in the world and these projects will support the growth of China’s wind energy investments.
The new sensor system is to monitor “the health" of each wind turbine, sending the information to the operator on shore. If the operators think it is necessary, they can send technicians to carry out repairs before a stoppage occurs. This will lead to significant savings in operating costs through the whole life of the turbine.
SC Johnson has installed three wind turbines at the campus of its headquarters as part of a wind energy pilot program. The pilot program is initiated by the company to help it to further reduce its green house gas emissions as well as to increase the awareness that renewable energy is not only for factories but also for office buildings that are located in cities. The company is using renewable energy at its factories all over the world. Through this pilot program, the company is hoping to acquire information that will help it to further advance its strategy to adopt more sustainable solutions.
The SMart Wind consortium, led by Mainstream Renewable Power and Siemens Project Ventures (SPV), a division company of Siemens Financial Services, has been awarded a contract to develop 4GW of wind farms by 2020 as part of The Crown Estate’s Round 3 offshore wind farm programme.
The UE 42 wind generator is available with a rated output capacity of 4,200W. The 4,200W output is produced through the rated wind speed of 27mph. The peak output of this wind turbine is 4,500W and the cut in rate of the wind speed is 6mph. This wind turbine provided by Eco-Technology Solutions includes blades, rotor, governor and an electronic controller.
