  • The Next Generation of AEP Boost. Senvion Turbine Control Upgrade 2.0
    The next generation of AEP boost. Senvion Turbine Control Upgrade 2.0. Five high-performance features increasing on average 1.8% AEP. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Service is continuously developing a series of performance enhancing hardware and software technologies to help producers achieve even greater gains for their Senvion wind turbines. The new Turbine Control Upgrade 2.0 offers greater performance by increasing the Annual Energy Production (AEP) of the Senvion wind turbines by 1.8% on average*. This is possible due to further optimization of two proven features provided within the previous version of the Turbine Control Upgrade and the addition of three newly developed features. Based on the analysis of operational data, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Service is able to deliver control algorithm solutions to provide yield gains. The Turbine Control Upgrade 2.0 is a bundle of performance-enhancing software products, derived from our data analysis activities. It has the following optimized and newly added features: n Smart Start n Dynamic Yaw n Adaptive Rotor Speed n Parameter Tuning n Soft Cut-Out The combination of these five high-performance features can increase the AEP of your wind farm by 1.8% on average*. New features and greater performance. The ‘Smart Start’ feature applies a self-learning algorithm which optimizes the Benefits of Senvion Turbine start-up procedure of the wind turbine to increase the energy production in the lower Control Upgrade 2.0: partial load area. The algorithm is lowering the start-up wind speed in small steps n Particularly effective for after each successful start of the turbine.

  • Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines for Offshore Oil and Gas Development
    ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY GUIDELINES OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT June 5, 2015 ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION 1. The Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP).1 When one or more members of the World Bank Group are involved in a project, these EHS Guidelines are applied as required by their respective policies and standards. These industry sector EHS guidelines are designed to be used together with the General EHS Guidelines document, which provides guidance to users on common EHS issues potentially applicable to all industry sectors. For complex projects, use of multiple industry sector guidelines may be necessary. A complete list of industry sector guidelines can be found at: www.ifc.org/ehsguidelines. 2. The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities by existing technology at reasonable costs. Application of the EHS Guidelines to existing facilities may involve the establishment of site-specific targets, with an appropriate timetable for achieving them. 3. The applicability of the EHS Guidelines should be tailored to the hazards and risks established for each project on the basis of the results of an environmental assessment in which site-specific variables, such as host country context, assimilative capacity of the environment, and other project factors, are taken into account. The applicability of specific technical recommendations should be based on the professional opinion of qualified and experienced persons. 4. When host country regulations differ from the levels and measures presented in the EHS Guidelines, projects are expected to achieve whichever are more stringent.
