Rice University's Master Of Energy Economics’ Post

Explore the Farmland Energy Podcast: "Introduction to Wind Farms and How Farmers Can Utilize Wind Power" https://lnkd.in/ehSkt4kC

Imagine owning a bit of a wind or solar farm - to power your home. That's exactly what Sarah Merrick (Founder and CEO, Ripple Energy) is enabling. Do yourself a favour and listen to today's episode of the Transmission podcast - feelgood vibes to kick off COP28. Always great to hear from the superheroes powering the energy transition. #RenewableEnergy #CommunityImpact #EnergyTransition https://lnkd.in/exZdnzGH

The first edition 'Energy Futures' a mini series for our podcast, The Hydrofiles, is out! In this episode we ask Mike Case about the industrialisation of floating wind. He explores the opportunities and challenges of building floating offshore wind farms, including scaling up port operations and the need for suitable areas for storage. https://lnkd.in/e6xCW77e

Offshore wind projects are facing headwinds but still offer opportunities for #decarbonization. 🌊⚡️ In this week's podcast episode, Ben Storrow (E&E News) discusses the related challenges, potential solutions, and future of #OffshoreWind. Tune in! 🎧

Another informative overview from the insightful TILClimate podcast team at MIT Climate. 💡 You may have heard that wind turbines caused the Texas power grid failures that led to over 240 people tragically passing away in the winter of 2021. Spoiler alert: while that's part of the story, it's not the whole picture. Another, less green, energy source that had a larger role in the failures. 🏭 Listen in to learn more, including one mitigation measure being employed that's familiar to anyone that's flown in freezing weather. ✈️ Remember, it's OK -- scientific even -- to be skeptical and check your sources. 👩🔬 #HealthySkepticism #ClimateScience #TexasGrid2021 #MITClimate #ClimateChange

Great podcast from MIT Climate! In this episode, they dive into what happens to wind turbines in extreme cold and explain why cold climates are actually ideal for generating wind energy. https://lnkd.in/eu_F7DDx Ice protection can help cold climate wind farms prevent turbines from stopping and generate more energy even in the harshest conditions. Contact us to learn more about comprehensive ice protection that generates ROI. https://lnkd.in/ezVYgx9m

Do wind turbines freeze up in the cold? You might remember the terrible Texas cold front of 2021 that left millions without power—and news reports saying a loss of wind energy was to blame. Those early reports weren't *wrong*: during the storm, some wind farms did stop producing electricity because their turbines iced over. But they also left some important things out. So to answer a listener question about wind energy's reliability in extreme weather, we brought Prof. Michael Howland of MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering onto our TILclimate podcast to explain "winterization," how extreme weather affects many energy technologies we rely on, and how wind turbines can fail in Texas but work just fine in Antarctica.

Committed to a Sustainable Future 🌍 In an era where disposable products were once encouraged, leading to excessive consumption over the past 50 years, our planet is now facing the consequences. It is inspiring to see countries, companies, and individuals exploring clean energy solutions to preserve our beautiful Earth for future generations. In today's world, where minimizing waste in both food and energy is critical, we are honoured to witness one of our clients taking this issue so seriously. We look forward to seeing even greater leadership from National Grid in their pursuit of sustainable energy solutions. 🌍💡🔌 #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #FutureGenerations

It is common we as the question: Why are wind turbines stopped? So why don’t we boost it up? Why don’t we install 10.000 turbines? The new podcast episode from SCADA International has thay answer!
