On April 19, 2019, a thermal runaway event took place in a battery energy storage unit (ESS) located within a building in Surprise, Arizona. The ESS was provided with fire detection and fire suppression, which both activated. Approximately five hours after arriving on the scene, the responding fire department opened a door on the ESS, and a deflagration event occurred, severely injuring four firefighters. The event was a catalyst for the need for....
America’s seas are changing. Our first commercial-scale projects now stand with turbines towering over the water, providing electricity to communities and tens of thousands of homes across the East Coast. This burgeoning industry promises a cleaner future, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and a surge in domestic energy production. However, unlocking its potential hinges on developing a skilled workforce ready to design, build, and maintain the....
A key challenge in the offshore wind industry is the assessment of the resource, essential throughout the different stages of a development project, from screening of areas of interest, to optimization of wind farm layouts to account for spatial heterogeneities and wake losses. Floating lidars have been established since 2023, with the University of Maine collaborating on the first deployed unit. This enhances the array of solutions avai....
Image data from visual inspections is nearly always the starting point for planning a blade maintenance campaign. Historically, external visual inspections of the outside of the blades have been the dominant dataset because they are less expensive to collect; no one needs to climb the tower to gather images of the blades. Ground-based cameras were initially employed, which then gave way to drones and automation that increased both the quality of ....
