GE Power Conversion to reduce cost of offshore wind by 15% with new DC solution
2014-03-05 01:00:00| Power Technology
GE Power Conversion has completed trials of PassiveBoost, a technology that is designed to allow remote power networks to go direct current (DC), and would reduce the cost of offshore wind energy by 15%.
Offshore wind farms could tame hurricanes before they reach land
2014-02-26 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Computer simulations by Professor Mark Z. Jacobson have shown that offshore wind farms with thousands of wind turbines could have sapped the power of three real-life hurricanes, significantly decreasing their winds and accompanying storm surge, and possibly preventing billions of dollars in damages. For the past 24 years, Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford, has been developing a complex computer model to study air pollution, energy, weather and climate....

Birds halt UK offshore wind farm expansion
2014-02-19 13:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The need for a study into the potential threat to the red-throated diver, a type of waterfowl, has forced developers to scrap a project to expand the world's largest offshore wind farm, Britain's London Array. The consortium of Denmark's Dong Energy, Germany's E.ON and Abu Dhabi state-owned energy investor Masdar joined a growing list of companies scaling back plans to build new offshore wind capacity in Britain. An assessment of the potential impact to birdlife from construction of the project...
