Planetary Systems offers a range of renewable energy systems for commercial and residential applications. The wind power mounting systems are essential for safe mounting of wind systems. They are constructed to stand against variable wind speeds. Wind power generators can generate maximum power when they are mounted on wind towers and at the same time located in a place where the wind flow is not blocked.
American Superconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: AMSC), a global power technologies company, announced today that its wholly-owned AMSC Windtec™ subsidiary has signed a follow-on contract with Dongfang Turbine Co. Ltd. (“Dongfang”) to design and jointly develop 5 megawatt (MW) full conversion wind turbines for the offshore wind power market.
Construction of the 149 megawatt Rugby Wind Power Project near Rugby, North Dakota has been completed by Iberdrola Renewables. The project cost amounted to about $300 million. The operations building, 16.4 miles of road and 71 wind turbines were built with the help of 250 construction workers. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) estimated that 809 jobs were available during the construction process and another 29 jobs will be created during the operating process of the Rugby project. This estimation was based on NREL’s Jobs and Economic Development Impact model, which takes into consideration the supply chain and other related factors.
The acquisition of three wind farms in France by Boralex and Cube Infrastructure has resulted in an increase of 170 MW in Boralex’s installed wind power capacity in Europe. Cube Infrastructure Fund is Boralex‘s new European partner. Two of these wind farms are currently under construction. These two wind farms include the 10 MW wind site at Grand Camp in the Centre region and the 30 MW wind site in Plateau de Ronchois in the Picardie and Normandie regions. The 7 MW Bel Air site is the third wind farm, which had started its operation from December 2006 in Brittany.
Vestas has received an order from the German company Prokon for 48 V90-2.0 megawatt wind turbines. These wind turbines are required for various locations in Poland. The contract includes supply of VestaOnline Business SCADA solution, commissioning of the wind turbines, delivery and installation. These 48 V90-2.0 megawatt wind turbines will be delivered during the years 2010 to 2012.
Suzlon Energy, the third largest wind turbine maker in the world, has signed repeat orders with ITC for setting up, operating and maintaining two wind power projects in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. The project in Maharashtra will add 6 megawatt of capacity from four units of Suzlon’s S-82 1.5 megawatt turbine and the Karnataka project will add 21 megawatt of capacity from ten units of Suzlon’s S88 – 2.1 megawatt turbine.
A new technology was successfully tested on a wind turbine that increases the electricity generation by Risø DTU. A laser-based anemometer is built into the spinner of the wind turbine and this system predicts the turbulence, direction and gusts of wind. Torben Mikkelsen, Professor at Risø DTU, said that the new technology will enable wind turbines in future to substantially increase energy production. The LIDAR, as the system is called, will also reduce loads significantly.
Minnesota Power, an ALLETE company, has purchased a 465-mile direct current transmission line from the Square Butte Electric Cooperative for approximately $70 million. The 250-kilovolt line purchased by Minnesota Power connects its Arrowhead Substation in Hermantown, Minnesota with Center, North Dakota.
An order for 24 units of the V90-2.0 megawatt wind turbine was received by Vestas. The V90-2.0 megawatt wind turbines are to be installed in Huelva in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. A five-year service agreement, a VestasOnline Business SCADA solution, supply and installation are part of the project. Additional details with reference to the project and the customer are withheld at customer’s request.
WindLogics is a specialist wind resource company that offers three types of services, Wind resource assessment, financial analysis and operational services. The operational services or Visionpoint offered by the company include operational assessment and wind energy forecasting. The operational services analyze weather patterns, influence of global climate, and wind pattern during the period of measurement. The operational assessment integrates short-term, mid-term and long-term analysis. The on-time and accurate wind energy forecasting is required for energy traders and system operators to increase the efficiency of wind plant.
