The transition to renewable energy sources, including tidal and offshore wind, requires knowledge of our marine environment. How do ADCPs and DVLs contribute to obtaining this knowledge? 🌊Like with many marine infrastructure projects, ADCPs are required to perform site surveys, gathering information on potential sites for offshore wind or tidal turbines. 🌊Maintenance of renewable energy infrastructure often relies on AUVs or ROVs, as well as knowledge of local currents, for the safety of personnel in and on the water. DVLs play a crucial role in providing this. 🌊Maximizing efficiency of tidal turbines in particular requires knowledge of the currents in an area, often in real time. ADCPs are suited for this job.

📈 Record year for new wind installations, but we need ambition and courage to reach global targets 🎯 As Chair of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), our CEO Jonathan Cole wrote the foreword to its 2024 Global Wind Report, published today.   🚀 117 GW of wind power was installed in 2023 - up 50% on 2022 - according to the report. Last year was also the second-best year in history for offshore wind installations, with 10.8 GW total installed worldwide.   ✅ Global cumulative wind power capacity (onshore and offshore) in addition passed the first 1 TW milestone in 2023.   Despite strong growth, the current rate “still leaves us far short” of a global target to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050, writes Jonathan in the report’s foreword.   “Meeting the challenge of our times requires ambition and courage: The ambition to be bold and think big in the pursuit of a clean energy future, and the courage to make the tough choices to fulfil that ambition,” he says.   “This means countries taking steps to derisk and accelerate deployment of renewables by prioritising early investment in the grid and transmission infrastructure and moving swiftly to streamline permitting processes.   “It requires political leaders who are willing to spend political capital by sending clear signals to the market that the energy transition is inevitable, who pursue fiscal and practical measures designed to encourage supply chain growth, and who remove barriers to free trade that – whilst tempting in the short-term – are only likely to delay and increase the cost of the energy transition.   “To incentivise new renewable energy projects, we need regulatory frameworks that measure the true value of the electrons we deliver, at a fair price, according to the full spectrum of services they provide.”   🖱️ Read the foreword and report in full on GWEC’s website: https://lnkd.in/e-evn7Z8   #WindPower #OffshoreWind #Time4Action

🌬️ U.S. Advances in Offshore Wind Energy 💡 Despite challenges, the U.S. is making significant strides in offshore wind energy. New auctions for wind farms off the East Coast in 2024, aiming to power 2.2 million homes. 🚧 Challenges & Responses: Economic and supply chain issues have caused project delays, but states like New Jersey and Louisiana are moving forward with their own initiatives. 🌟 Latest Development: The 2600 megawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project recently approved, part of a broader national effort to boost renewable energy. 🔗 Interested in the future of U.S. renewable energy?

The Terawatt Era in Wind Energy is Gaining Momentum Rapidly! 💨⚡   Global wind energy has entered a spectacular era by surpassing the 1 terawatt level in 2023! While a capacity increase of 143 gigawatts is expected worldwide in 2024, according to GWEC data, a total of 680 gigawatts will be integrated into the global energy system during the 2023-2027 period. 📈   With favorable market conditions, a positive investment environment, and countries taking affirmative steps in renewable energy policies, it is anticipated that a 2 terawatt installed capacity can be achieved within 7 years. With an average growth rate of 10% per year, wind energy will continue to spread rapidly worldwide. 🔄🌐   Let's explore the power of the wind together for the future of energy transformation! 🍃   #tumurly #windenergy #windturbine #globalwindenergy #energy #energytransformation #terawattera #energysystem #gwec 

Energy Magz continues the discussion surrounding fire risks in co-located renewable energy projects, pointing out that because fires in wind turbines or solar panels are less frequent, they are often overlooked, posing a threat to co-located assets that have both energy storage systems and wind or solar assets. It is also noted that fires in wind turbines and solar panels can result in a potential loss of $9 million USD and significant downtime.

🌎 Highlight of the Week in the US Renewable Energy Sector 🌎 1️⃣ By 2030 Solar Energy Will Make Up 30% Of Electricity Generation ☀️ Solar power is on the rise in the US, with capacity having grown at 44% annually between 2009 and 2022. The Stampede Solar Project in Texas is a key example, using advanced technology to build a 326 MW solar plant 25% faster. This project will generate clean energy, create jobs, and benefit the local community, reflecting the bright future of solar power in the US. 2️⃣ US Energy Panel Approves Rule To Ease The Transmit Of Renewable Energy ⚡️ The US FERC approved a new rule to expand renewable energy transmission for eliminating carbon emissions by 2050. The rule aims to address challenges in the ageing power grid from increased demand and extreme weather. Approval was split along party lines, with Democrats and clean energy advocates in favour and Republicans concerned about increased costs for consumers. Interested in how we can support your growth?

After years of visiting Ft. Lauderdale, it’s impressive to see wind turbines installed on the rooftop of the Hilton on the beach. Although #Florida is the 3rd largest energy consuming state in the US (after Texas and California), #renewables currently constitute only 7% of the state’s supply mix. With the Sunshine State’s capacity to harness abundant #solar and #wind energy, is it time for Florida to implement a state-wide renewable portfolio standard and enable power-purchase agreements? These policies could serve to further accelerate investments in solar and wind across Florida - as they’ve done in other parts of the US - particularly for rooftop residential and commercial power generation. #renewableenergy #solarpower #windenergy #energysecurity
