Floating Wind Farms Aim for Open Ocean

Mechanical, Production & Manufacturing

With nothing in their path to slow them down, winds over the ocean can consistently blow at higher speeds than is possible on land. This makes them attractive to harness for electricity. But the floating wind turbines that are needed for deep waters face salty wind gusts and large waves,…

UK and Netherlands to jointly benefit from multi-use undersea power line

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation, Mechanical, Production & Manufacturing

The project, named LionLink, is expected to provide enough clean electricity to power 1.8 million homes – more than Birmingham and Manchester combined. The 1.8GW power line is the second-largest multi-purpose cross-border electricity line ever built, after the one that currently connects Germany and Denmark. However, LionLink will be able to…

UK urged to ‘transform’ 11 ports to support floating offshore wind boom

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation, Mechanical, Production & Manufacturing

A report by the Global Wind Energy Council's (GWEC) Floating Offshore Wind Taskforce contains a series of recommendations which could see 34 gigawatts (GW) of floating wind installed in UK waters by 2040 if “decisive action” is taken by the government. Ministers have so far set a target to install…

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. “Laws, Whitehouse received five minutes signal. Coil signals too weak to relay. Try drive slow and regular. I have put intermediate pulley. Reply by coils.” Sound familiar? The message above was sent through the first transatlantic telegraph cable between Newfoundland and…
