Smarter at every stage with advanced weather and environmental solutions
As the world changes how it is powered, having a better understanding of the weather at any stage of the wind farm lifecycle is more critical than ever before, as a means to reduce costs and enable increased renewable energy integration in our lives. But with weather patterns difficult to predict, particularly long-term, how can… Read more »
The value of INTOG
Offshore wind has been a major success story for Scotland and the UK, with an established policy framework combining with long term, strategic private sector investment leading to significant cost reduction and decarbonisation of the economy. As well as providing opportunity to secure seabed rights to develop offshore projects and driving forward the decarbonisation of… Read more »
The time has come to realise the potential in floating offshore wind
With growing opportunity, investment and urgency across the offshore wind sector, this is a time for action. Floating offshore wind is a particularly exciting area right now, especially with the new 5GW target for 2030 set out in the Government’s recent Energy Security Strategy. It’s now time for the industry to deliver and this means… Read more »
Eastern opportunity for future renewable energy transition
Located on England’s east coast, Peel Ports Great Yarmouth is a one-stop-shop for handling pre-assembly, O&M and manufacturing opportunities, simultaneously, making it ‘like no other UK port location’, according to Port Director Richard Goffin. PES takes a look at why having such a highly experienced site available to handle major offshore projects is of growing… Read more »
Improving safety and reliability with distributed fiber sensors
DarkPulse Chairman and CEO Dennis O’Leary discusses the potential for sensor technology to change the way wind turbines are monitored and maintained. Being able to keep a close eye on structures in real-time means that, even from afar, maintenance downtime can be reduced, safety can be increased and costs can be kept to a minimum. … Read more »
Flexibility is key for offshore wind farm operators
Offshore wind service provider CBED offers logistics and accommodation solutions to the offshore wind industry, with its walk-to-work vessel, Wind Innovation. PES caught up with Daniel Alon, General Manager for CBED, to get an update on what projects the company has been working on and to get the latest insights on efforts to reduce the… Read more »
Get ready for GOW22
This is a critical time for renewable energy and offshore wind, with important conversations happening at all levels. This makes RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind Conference and Exhibition (GOW) 2022 a not-to-be-missed event for anyone working in or linked to the sector. The largest event dedicated to offshore wind in the whole of the UK, it… Read more »
A fleet approach to asset management
As the industry scales up, Sereema argues the case for wind asset management at a global level: flexible enough to make centralized strategy and operational level daily decisions. Could this approach to wind sector management and analysis deliver an additional layer of understanding of asset behavior and performance? The ambitions and records of the wind… Read more »
Modelling the wake effect
External wakes could reach further than the offshore wind industry previously predicted, bringing financial implications for wind farm developments. For offshore wind to live up to its full potential, developers and investors must have full visibility over the impact of wind farms on one another, or risk financial and decarbonisation targets being missed. The issue… Read more »
逆变器与电网的那些事儿
可持续发展背景下，如何满足大规模新能源接入、消纳成为实现碳达峰、碳中和目标的必答题，新能源接入电网已成为电力行业主要发展方向之一。 但由于新能源具备不稳定性、间歇性等特点，导致其在大量接入地区电网后会产生一定的负面作用，所以为保证电网的安全稳定运行，新能源设备必须具备主动调节电网的能力。本文从光伏逆变器的角度简述一下新能源设备如何主动调节电网保障电网的稳定运行。 1、 基本理论 光伏逆变器主要的功能是将光伏（PV）太阳能板产生的可变直流电压转换为市电频率交流电（AC）反馈回商用输电系统，或是供离网的电网使用。
