MacArtney Supplies Storage and Handling System for Viking Link Spare Cable
between mechanics and software," he explained.Viking Link, a joint venture between Danish Energinet and British National Grid, will include approximately 765 km of high voltage direct current (DC) cables supporting the promotion of renewable energy utilization, access to sustainable electricity generation, and enhanced security of electricity supplies
DemoSATH Floating Wind Platform Installed Offshore
Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and the Basque Government institutions EVE and SPRI has ensured the success of the project.With the installation of the unit now complete, the DemoSATH project will enter a period of commissioning, which will be followed by the operational phase when electricity generation will start. The floating wind platform has been designed and equipped to harness the power of the wind in deep coastal waters and convert it into clean, renewable energy. This pioneering technology holds immense promise for reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the renewable
Hitachi Energy to Supply HVDC Converter Stations for UK's Longest HVDC Link
, making it the longest HVDC link in the UK. The link will supply a total of 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity, which is enough to power around two million UK households."The link will help to secure power transmission in the northern UK and support the integration of new renewable electricity generation in Scotland, as part of the UK’s Net Zero Strategy. As much as 11,000 MW of offshore wind capacity is possible in Scottish waters by 2030, and HVDC transmission will play a large part in bringing this vast amount of renewable power to shore and south, to communities across the country
New Subsea Cable Will Link Northern Scotland to England
will be the country's largest ever electricity transmission project, will create a 525 kilowatt (KW), 2 GW high voltage direct current subsea transmission cable from Peterhead in Scotland to Drax in England, SSEN said in a statement."The EGL2 link will support the growth of new renewable electricity generation, creating jobs and delivering a pathway to net zero emissions targets, as well as helping to alleviate existing constraints on the electricity network," the statement said."It is part of the significant amount of new network infrastructure required for net zero and will play a critical
DOE Seeks Input on Mooring & Anchoring Systems for Floating Wind
intent to use $30 million from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to fund research and development projects that will lower costs for wind energy projects on land and offshore to benefit communities across the country. Wind energy accounted for more than 9% of total domestic electricity generation in 2021 and will play a significant role in achieving President Biden’s goals to reach 100% clean electricity by 2035 and a net-zero-emissions economy by 2050, DOE said."Floating offshore wind energy will be a key contributor to federal and state offshore wind deployment targets
Minesto's Second Sea Kite Online in Faroes
data and verified simulations, its utility-scale Dragon Class tidal energy kites are each projected to produce 3.5 GWh of clean electricity per year at identified sites.The Dragon Class tidal energy kites is an upgraded design of Minesto’s Deep Green technology for predictable renewable electricity generation from tidal and ocean currents.The projected annual output of 3.5 GWh for a D12 (12-m wing and a rated power of approx. 1.2 MW) tidal kite system is based on installations at identified sites such as the Hestfjord strait in the Faroe Islands where Minesto together with Faroese electric utility
Eco Wave Power to Install Wave Energy Power Plant in Spanish Port
right to combine the two stages of the project and execute the whole 2MW from the start; Eco Wave Power said.Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power commented: “When it comes to renewable energy, Spain foresees a sizeable buildout of new renewables capacity to reach 74% of electricity generation by 2030. Spain also has 8,000 km of coastline. The combination of Spain’s ambitious renewable energy goals, along with its significant coastline, makes it an optimal market for Eco Wave Power. We are very excited about the collaboration with Port Adriano and would like to thank them

Scottish Firm Nova Innovation Gets Funding for Indonesian Tidal Turbine Array Study
to come.”Indonesia is one of the world’s largest countries, with over 270 million people and 17,500 islands. According to Nova Innovation, the country's electricity grid is currently dominated by fossil fuels – coal, gas, and oil – which together accounted for 83% of electricity generation in 2020. However the Indonesian Government has committed to increasing renewable energy production by 2030, and the country’s abundant tidal energy resources provide the perfect opportunity to decarbonize its economy, Nova Innovation said.Nova will partner with the Institut Teknologi
