Mapping a New Atlas for Offshore Wind
Read ArticleThe global goal for offshore wind capacity is an ambitious 234 GW by 2030*, but a significant gap exists between national targets and developer realities. With political, economic, and technological hurdles threatening progress, this article...
Wind turbine diameter sizes continue to increase. Today’s large offshore wind turbines flanges for jackets, monopiles, transition pieces, and bottom tower sections can measure up to eight meters across, while 10 meters are forecast in the future....
Although community engagement has traditionally been a laborious and data-starved process, AI has unleashed a new era of improved workflows, better resource allocation, and higher visibility, helping wind power developers tap into real-time...
Traditionally, Condition Monitoring Systems for wind turbines concentrated primarily on the drivetrain. Thanks to a rapid increase in the number of wind turbines, monitoring the condition of the rotor blades also became a requirement. Today, the...
Many of us are familiar with the saying that every adversity carries the seeds of equal or greater opportunity. This certainly proved painfully true for me. My son was a happy child who had not missed a day of school in over two years and had never...
The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly more apparent as communities around the world experience extreme weather events. From hurricanes and floods to droughts and wildfires, these types of events can have profound negatives effects...
When thinking of renewable energy sources, you most likely picture solar panels or massive wind turbines, churning out energy to reduce the strain on electric grids and helping towns and businesses meet lofty sustainability goals. However, when an...
The US offshore wind sector has entered 2024 with cautious optimism as the industry shakes off negativity from last year, ready to apply learnings from a challenging 2023 to the year ahead. There are already key projects in the pipeline, including...
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...
