Download or read book Wind Energy Basics written by Paul Gipe and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of clean, renewable power is without question going to be the defining challenge and goal of the 21st century, and wind will lead the way. Internationally acclaimed wind energy expert Paul Gipe is as soberly critical of past energy mistakes as he is convincingly optimistic about the future. The overwhelming challenge of transforming our world from one of fossil carbon to one of clean power seems daunting at best—and paralyzingly impractical at worst. Wind Energy Basics offers a solution. Wind power can realistically not only replace the lion’s share of oil-, coal-, and naturalgas– fired electrical plants in the U.S., but also can add enough extra power capacity to allow for most of the cars in the nation to run on electricity. Gipe explains why such a startlingly straightforward solution is eminently doable and can be accomplished much sooner than previously thought—and will have the capacity to resuscitate small and regional economies. Wind Energy Basics offers a how-to for home-based wind applications, with advice on which wind turbines to choose and which to avoid. He guides wind-energy installers through considerations such as renewable investment strategies and gives cautionary tales of wind applications gone wrong. And for the activist, he suggests methods of prodding federal, state, and provincial governments to promote energy independence.

It is also highly beneficial to university students studying wind power technology, renewable energy and power systems, and to practitioners in wind engineering, turbine design and manufacture and electrical power engineering.
Download or read book Offshore Wind written by Kurt Thomsen and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore Wind is the first-ever roadmap to successful offshore wind installation. It provides a ready reference for wind project managers, teaching them how to deal with complications on-site, as well as for financers, who can utilize the text as an easy guide to asking the pivotal questions of petitioning wind project developers. These developers' planning stages will be improved by the book's expert advice on how to avoid wasting money by scoping out and mitigating potential problems up-front. Wind turbine manufacturers will benefit from insights into design optimization to support cheaper installation and hauling, thereby incurring lower project costs, and helping developers establish a quicker route to profitability. The book sheds light not just on how to solve a particular installation difficulty, but delves into why the problem may best be solved in that way. - Enables all stakeholders to realize cheaper, faster, and safer offshore wind projects - Explains the different approaches to executing on- and offshore projects, highlighting theeconomic impacts of the various financial and operational choices - Provides practical, proven advice on how tough challenges can be overcome,using real-life examples from the author's experiences to illustrate key issues
Download or read book Building an Offshore Wind Farm written by Jochem Tacx and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source which can be converted into electricity using wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power. Windspeed and direction are more consistent offshore than they are onshore and consequently, offshore wind farms are built progressively. Statistics from Wind Europe confirm that 2018 counted a total of 4,543 installed and grid connected offshore turbines in Europe corresponding to a total of capacity of 18,499 MW.The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm is the first book available to the public to specifically focus on the installation of an offshore wind farm. The book draws on the author's experience of the transport and installation of the components for the offshore wind farms. It also specifies the type of installation vessels used for the specific installations, outlines the required crew members on board and their mandatory basic training programs and explains how the workers travel to and from site.This book is a valuable educational investment designed with graphics and figures along with corresponding project photos which creates an easy read and provides the readers with a quick, but yet deep understanding on the respective installation phases.The authors, Jochem Tacx and Integrated-TIS:Jochem T. started his career working at the shipyard Keppel Verolme, in the port of Rotterdam, and later specializing within the transport and installation of heavy, high value and oversized project equipment. During his career Jochem has represented the interest of the main clients and first-tier contractors by fulfilling all aspects of project- and related QHSE management. His career enabled him to work on all phases of the respective offshore wind farm installations including the installation of the foundations, laying of the submarine power cables and installing the wind turbines.Integrated-TIS is an international service provider for the energy industry specialized within the transport and installation of heavy, high value and high volume industrial components. Integrated-TIS provides project consulting, project management and client representation for all respective transport, installation and construction phases of any given project.

Download or read book Wind Energy written by Mathew Sathyajith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing energy demand and environmental consciousness have re-evoked human interest in wind energy. As a result, wind is the fastest growing energy source in the world today. Policy frame works and action plans have already been for- lated at various corners for meeting at least 20 per cent of the global energy - mand with new-renewables by 2010, among which wind is going to be the major player. In view of the rapid growth of wind industry, Universities, all around the world, have given due emphasis to wind energy technology in their undergraduate and graduate curriculum. These academic programmes attract students from diver- fied backgrounds, ranging from social science to engineering and technology. Fundamentals of wind energy conversion, which is discussed in the preliminary chapters of this book, have these students as the target group. Advanced resource analysis tools derived and applied are beneficial to academics and researchers working in this area. The Wind Energy Resource Analysis (WERA) software, provided with the book, is an effective tool for wind energy practitioners for - sessing the energy potential and simulating turbine performance at prospective sites.

Committee on Offshore Wind Farm Worker Safety and published by Transportation Research Board National Research. This book was released on 2013 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB Special Report 310: Worker Health and Safety on Offshore Wind Farms examines the hazards and risks to workers on offshore wind farms on the outer continental shelf as compared with the hazards and risks to workers on offshore oil and gas operations. The report explores gaps and overlaps in jurisdictional authority for worker health and safety on offshore wind farms and evaluates the adequacy of--and recommends enhancements to--the existing safety management system (SMS) requirement published in 30 CFR 585.810. The study committee recommends that the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) adopt a full SMS rule for workers on offshore wind farms at a level of detail that includes the baseline elements identified in this report. An enhanced SMS rule should require the use of human factors engineering elements in the design process and should encompass all activities that the lessee and its contractors undertake. In collaboration with other regulatory agencies and industry stakeholders, BOEM should clearly define roles and responsibilities and indicate which standards could apply for all phases of wind farm development, regardless of jurisdiction. Also, with the help of stakeholders, BOEM should support the development of guidelines and recommended practices that could be used as guidance documents or adopted by referen"-
