Windstaller Alliance to Deliver FEED for World's Most Powerful Tidal Power Farm
project is already approved by French authorities, and in fact moving faster than the prospects we see within offshore wind. There are concrete plans for several 250 MW and 500 MW tidal parks in the same area (up to 2-3.5 GW). “Tidal power is perhaps somewhat unfairly overlooked as a renewable energy source, but the fact is that – unlike wind and solar power – you know exactly when and how much energy will be produced. We will do our best during the FEED to help realize the FloWatt project, which will position us well for a potential future development of the project,” concludes
Tidal Energy to Power Off-Grid Island in SE Asia
A tidal-energy demonstration off the grid of Singapore will start generating power for the first time in South East Asia.NYK is participating in the demonstration project, which is being conducted by Bluenergy Solutions, a marine renewable energy solutionprovider, off Raffles Lighthouse on Satumu Island, about 14 kmfrom the main island of Singapore.Tidal energy uses tidal currents, which are stable in volume and direction throughout the year, making them an extremely efficient renewable energy source, featuring a generated amount of power, that is easy to predict.
ORE Catapult: Tidal Stream Energy Costs Could Plummet If Current Opportunity is Realized
that TSE could dramatically improve domestic energy security and reduce costs in the future energy system due to its predictable nature. "An increasing emphasis on domestic energy security presents an opportunity for TSE to build capacity as a reliable and forecastable complementary renewable energy source," ORE Catapult said.Caroline Lourie, Technical Manager, at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) said: “The UK remains the most attractive global market for tidal stream energy, with over 10 GW potential. In 2021, £20 million a year was ring-fenced for the sector through
Protecting Subsea Cabling
.As demand for offshore wind energy continues to grow, solutions like DAS need to become an integral part of operations. The energy industry must take a comprehensive view of the systems necessary to successfully operate offshore wind farms, or risk costly outages that impact confidence in this renewable energy source.The authorStuart Large has combined technical, commercial and managerial expertise gained over 16 years in the oil an gas industry, working at two small engineering firms and two large multinationals. He is now product line director at Fotech Solutions and maintained the role for almost

Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Design Passes ABS Review
of the concept by developing a 1:8 scale model and deploying it in Castine, Maine. Maine Aqua Ventus I, GP, LLC, is now leading a full-scale, two turbine demonstration project called New England Aqua Ventus I, a 12 megawatt (MW) floating offshore wind pilot project to develop a clean, renewable energy source off Maine’s shores. This pilot project will demonstrate the innovative VolturnUS at full-scale as a viable and economical alternative for offshore wind developments in water depths greater than 50 meters. Anthony Viselli, University of Maine engineering manager, said ABS worked
Wind Surpasses Hydro as Largest US Renewable Energy Source
Wind energy has surpassed hydropower as the biggest source of renewable electricity in the United States following the sector's second-biggest quarter ever for new installations, a wind industry trade group said on Thursday. Wind installations totaled 82,183 megawatts at the end of 2016, enough to power 24 million homes, the American Wind Energy Association said in its fourth-quarter market report. By comparison, U.S. hydroelectric capacity stands at about 80,000 megawatts, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. Wind installations soared to 6,478 MW in the fourth quarter
LDD Completes Relief Drilling Campaign
;s project director, Toby Edmonds, said, “All 160 foundations are now installed, more than eight miles offshore at Gwynt y Môr. This is a tremendous achievement for the project. We can now focus on installing the final 19 turbines, commissioning the entire array and bringing online a renewable energy source drawn from the UK’s natural resources and capable of supporting approximately 400,000 homes.”
