Construction at the International Power Canada’s Harrow Wind projects in Essex County is progressing well. The four projects that are being constructed under the Ontario's Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program have an installed capacity of 9.9 MW each with a total capacity of 39.6 MW.
The turbine controller from Halus Power Systems has an automatic motor-start option along with other features such as advanced soft-start motor control, power factor control and user-definable voltage, grid frequency and current ranges. The soft-start motor control incorporates a cut-in slope and thyristor trigger angle, while the power factor control includes user-definable delay for the time taken to connect and discharge the capacitor.
Envertech has entered into a license agreement with Wind Sail Receptor (WSR) to use its patented wind turbine blade technology for manufacturing wind turbines up to 50 kW. When compared with the established wind turbines, the WSR blade design develops higher torques at lower rotational speeds. This feature improves durability and reliability as well as it provides quieter operation. The patented blade design also enables it to operate the turbine over a much wider range of wind speeds.
ETA Engineering offers a range of wind power products including tower kits and wind turbines. Wind turbine tower kits are provided in the following models: EZ Tower, AIR Tower and Whisper Tower kits. These tower kits are designed by Southwest Windpower. The Whisper tower kits are designed for easy and safe installation of towers. They are available in a number of designs based on their heights.
Offshore wind power and wave energy foundations can increase local abundances of fish and crabs. The reef-like constructions also favour for example blue mussels and barnacles. What's more, it is possible to increase or decrease the abundance of various species by altering the structural design of foundation. This was shown by Dan Wilhelmsson of the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, in a recently published dissertation.
Crownbutte Wind Power, a developer of merchant wind power parks in North Dakota, has completed its review of geotechnical reports from Braun Intertec Corporation of Fargo, ND. These reports are based on a geotechnical survey that was completed in April 2009 at the Crownbutte’s Gascoyne I 19.5 megawatt wind project site in Bowman County, ND.
Calpine Corporation has entered into a contract to provide the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) wind integration services. The requirements of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will be met by combining the procurement of intermittent renewable wind energy generation with the vital backstop of a flexible and reliable natural gas-fired portfolio.
RBC Bearings Incorporated has received clean energy manufacturing federal tax credits totaling $8.3 million from two awards for the development of its wind turbine bearing facility in Houston, Texas.
Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) has granted approval to Greengate Power Corporation for the construction and operation of its Halkirk I Wind Project. The company has scheduled to commence operations of the facility during the first quarter of 2011. The construction of the project is expected to begin during later part of the year 2010.
GE has signed contracts with HECIC New Energy to supply 88 wind turbines for three new projects that are to come up in Hebei and Shanxi Provinces. HECIC New Energy is one of leading wind energy developers in China. The country is currently the fourth largest producer of wind energy in the world and these projects will support the growth of China’s wind energy investments.
