Ridgeline Wind was a project like no other our team had ever encountered. Erecting wind turbines on flat terrain and hills is one thing, but there was a reason the project was named “Ridgeline” - this job was literally on the side of a mountain...
In February 2021, Texas was hit by a 100-year storm that nearly crippled the state and left millions of Texans without electricity. Overwhelmed by the sudden, extreme drop in temperature and, without an appropriate contingency plan, one third of the...
As offshore wind has evolved, the characteristics of new projects continues to change dramatically. And there’s no shortage of maturity in the sector; by the end of 2019, global offshore wind capacity was 29GW, a figure expected to multiply...
Wind power continues to be a dominant player in the global energy markets. According to recent analysis by
Wind farm repowering encompasses anything from completely decommissioning aging wind turbines and replacing them with newer (larger, more efficient turbines) at the same site, to partial repowering by replacing key components in existing wind...
The wind industry is constantly changing and creating new “rules of the road” as we move forward in this ever-evolving business. Not only must wind energy professionals keep up with government regulations, workforce changes, and an influx of new...
All around the world, offshore wind development is on the rise. With more wind farms being developed both in near-shore environments and deeper waters farther from coastlines, offshore wind is expected to constitute more than 20 percent of total...
Quick decisions can often mean life or death in remote locations like wind power farms, both on land and offshore. Having protocols, trained staff, and on-site medical support can help mitigate critical situations such as heart attacks or major...
When it comes to wind turbine maintenance, owners’ goals can generally be summarized as follows: predict faults early to reduce unplanned downtime, increase overall profitability, and extend the lifecycle of the turbine. Fault prediction, the most...
Evoking a range of emotions, from awe and wonder to misunderstanding that can lead to fear, bats are fundamental to our environment. In fact, according to studies noted by the U.S. Geological Survey, the value of bats in the U.S. is estimated to be...
