Sustainable ports underpin the green transition
The importance of protecting the natural environment and resources for human existence and development is considered a fundamental approach towards sustainability. There are several port-related issues with sustainability implications, such as energy savings, air quality, emission reduction, natural resources conservation, and waste handling which are already being considered by the industry. A number of initiatives… Read more »
Self-service autonomous drones as the next step in blade inspections
Where once rope access and ground-based cameras had to be enough to inspect the condition of wind turbines, technology has evolved to provide a safer and more accurate process. Machine learning and AI have opened up new possibilities in self-service drone inspections. Time then to gain some insight into the benefits of this shift, from… Read more »
Assessment over assumptions: how to hardwire the right approach into repowering a wind farm
Repowering is the process of upgrading or replacing components of a wind turbine to improve efficiency and capacity. There are two main types of repowering, full and partial. It is estimated that, on average, full repowering can double the generation of capacity in MW and triple the electricity output, because the new turbines produce more… Read more »
Applying lessons from telecoms outages to the power cable industry
Submarine telecoms cables have an average of 210 faults per year on the global infrastructure, the vast majority of which are caused by external aggression, such as fishing and anchoring. Many of the increasing network of power interconnector, array and export cables follow comparable routes, or are in similar areas to the shallower water telecoms… Read more »
