The UGE 4kW wind turbine consists of blades made of fiberglass and carbon fiber. It has a permanent magnet generator and operates in temperature conditions ranging from -40 degrees centigrade to 115 degrees centigrade. The wind turbine from Infin8 Solutions incorporates a direct drive system and produces 300 revolutions per minute.
In the year 2009, eight new wind farms comprising 199 offshore wind turbines with a combined power generating capacity of 577 MW were connected to the grid in Europe. In comparison with the 373 MW of installed capacity in the year 2008, the installation of this 577 MW in 2009 represents 54% growth rate. The European Wind Energy Association plans to complete 10 more European offshore wind farms with an addition of 1,000 MW for the year 2010.
CPV Renewable Energy Company has executed a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for 165 MW from the Cimarron wind energy project in Gray County, Kansas. The Cimarron wind energy project will complete permitting in the year 2010 and local approvals for this project has already been received.
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.
