It is here that the reliability and robustness of offshore equipment can step in to provide data and warnings to minimise the hazards that come with bad weather. The BTD-300 and BTD-350 have a detection radius of 83km (51 miles), with a single sensor able to reliably provide warnings for any marine, wind farm or large industrial site. Its ...
With a detection radius of 83km (51 miles), a single sensor will reliably provide warnings for any airport, wind farm or large industrial site. Its real-time output can be taken into any control or monitoring system, used to initiate alarms or warnings and to track the path of a storm cell. Its hard-wired connection means that it is reliable, ...
Wind-thirsty utilities are taking greater control of operations, accelerating a move towards wholesale-linked maintenance strategies and wind-storage revenues, leading groups told the Wind Operations Europe 2020 conference. ...
The IRP allocates 670 MW of PV and 200 MW of new wind capacity in 2025, rising to 1 GW of PV and 1.6 GW of wind per year from 2026 onwards. Wind and solar companies broadly welcome the long-term objectives of the plan but warn the proposed gap between committed projects expected online by 2022 and the IRP’s planned ...

Carbon Trust will today issue a warning to the offshore wind industry that important new innovations to slash the cost of offshore wind power are at risk of remaining on the drawing board as the UK currently has nowhere to demonstrate new lower-cost foundations with more powerful offshore wind turbines. Carbon Trust will today ...
The wind industry is being hit by the economic crisis and austerity across Europe, and a difficult situation should not be made worse by politicians undermining investor confidence, warned top industry figures today in Vienna. ...
Overturning all previous records, the U.S. wind energy industry installed 5,244 megawatts of power in 2007, expanding the nation's total wind power generating capacity by 45 percent in a single calendar year and injecting an investment of over $9 billion into the economy, according to the American Wind Energy Association, AWEA. ...
