  • Wind Power: Energy of the Future It’S Worth Thinking About
    Wind power: energy of the future It’s worth thinking about. »Energy appears to me to be the first and unique virtue of man.« Wilhelm von Humboldt 2 3 »With methods from the past, there will be no future.« Dr. Bodo Wilkens Wind power on the increase »Environmental protection is an opportunity and not a burden we have to carry.« Helmut Sihler When will the oil run out? Even if experts cannot agree on an exact date, one thing is certain: the era of fossil fuels is coming to an end. In the long term we depend on renewable sources of energy. This is an irrefutable fact, which has culminated in a growing ecological awareness in industry as well as in politics: whereas renewable sources of energy accounted for 4.2 percent of the total consumption of electricity in 1996, the year 2006 registered a proportion of 12 per- cent. And by 2020 this is to be pushed up to 30 percent. The growth of recent years has largely been due to the use of wind power. The speed of technical development over the past 15 years has brought a 20-fold rise in efficiency and right now wind power is the most economical regenerat- ive form there is to produce electricity. In this respect, Germany leads the world: since 1991 more than 19.460 wind power plants have been installed with a wind power capacity of 22.247 MW*. And there is more still planned for the future: away from the coastline, the offshore plants out at sea will secure future electricity supplies.

  • Assessment of the Effects of Noise and Vibration from Offshore Wind Farms on Marine Wildlife
    ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM OFFSHORE WIND FARMS ON MARINE WILDLIFE ETSU W/13/00566/REP DTI/Pub URN 01/1341 Contractor University of Liverpool, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Environmental Research and Consultancy Prepared by G Vella, I Rushforth, E Mason, A Hough, R England, P Styles, T Holt, P Thorne The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the DTI Sustainable Energy Programmes. The views and judgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of the DTI. First published 2001 i © Crown copyright 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Main objectives of the report Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU), on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) commissioned the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CMACS) in October 2000, to assess the effect of noise and vibration from offshore wind farms on marine wildlife. The key aims being to review relevant studies, reports and other available information, identify any gaps and uncertainties in the current data and make recommendations, with outline methodologies, to address these gaps. Introduction The UK has 40% of Europe ’s total potential wind resource, with mean annual offshore wind speeds, at a reference of 50m above sea level, of between 7m/s and 9m/s. Research undertaken by the British Wind Energy Association suggests that a ‘very good ’ site for development would have a mean annual wind speed of 8.5m/s. The total practicable long-term energy yield for the UK, taking limiting factors into account, would be approximately 100 TWh/year (DTI, 1999).

  • Offshore Wind Turbine Installation Analyses
    = Offshore Wind Turbine Transportation & Installation Analyses Planning Optimal Marine Operations for Offshore Wind Projects EMRE URAZ Master Thesis Visby, Sweden 2011 Offshore Wind Turbine Transportation & Installation Analyses Planning Optimal Marine Operations for Offshore Wind Projects Master Thesis by Emre URAZ Master Thesis written at Gotland University, June 2011, Department of Wind Energy Supervisor: Richard Koehler HGO, Department of Wind Energy Examiner: Dr. Bahri Uzunoğlu HGO, Department of Wind Energy Abstract Transportation and installation of offshore wind turbines (Tower, Nacelle and Rotor) is a complete process conducted over several phases, usually in sequence. There are several factors that can turn this process into a challenge. These factors can either be due to offshore site conditions or the technical limitations of the installation vessels. Each project has its own characteristic parameters and requires a unique optimum solution. This paper identifies the dynamics of the installation process and analyzes the effects of each phase on the progression of events. The challenges in wind turbine installations due to offshore environment were investigated, the effects of each were explained and their significances were stressed. Special installation vessels were examined and their technical specifications were analyzed in terms of working conditions, dimensions, service performances, and crane capacities as well as projecting future design trends. Several offshore wind farm projects were analyzed; their installation methods were specified, and compared to each other to determine advantages and disadvantages of different pre-assembly concepts. The durations of the sub-phases of the process were defined in terms of different variables such as site conditions and individual vessel performance. These definitions were used for making time estimations, and conducting further analyses regarding the effects of different site specific parameters on the overall project duration.

  • Optimal Wind Turbine Control Vestas Wind Systems A/S Is the Global Leader in Wind Technology, the Only Global Energy Company
    embotech GmbH Physikstrasse 3, ETL K10.1 CH-8092 Zurich Tel. +41 632 6298 e-mail: [email protected] Optimal wind turbine control Vestas Wind Systems A/S is the global leader in wind technology, the only global energy company solely dedicat- ed to renewable wind energy, and continually innovating to lower the cost of energy for its customers. This in- cludes offering modularized configurations of wind turbines that can be adapted to meet the unique require- ments and environmental conditions of a new wind turbine’s site. Control of wind turbines should maximize power extraction from the wind while minimizing structural loads. Appropriately tuned control systems are cru- cial in this. At a high level, a wind turbine control system can be divided into a yaw controller, responsible for aligning the wind turbine with the wind direction, and a production controller, responsible for setting the desired pitch angle of the blades and the desired power output from the electrical converter. Measurements available to the pro- duction controller include the wind speed and the speed of the wind turbine generator. Traditionally, a wind turbine is operated in different modes depending on the wind speed: Low wind speed High wind speed Objective Maximize power out- Minimize vibrations and put structural load Constraint Observe structural and Stay at rated power electrical limits output and shaft speed Vestas was able to implement their novel, unified controller formu- lation, eliminating the switching between different modes by using FORCES Pro from embotech.
