Book excerpt: "The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) is responsible for the orderly, safe, and environmentally responsible development of offshore renewable energy on the outer continental shelf (OCS). The Committee on Offshore Wind Energy Turbine Structural and Operating Safety that authored this report was tasked with reviewing BOEMRE's proposed approach to overseeing the design of offshore wind turbines for structural integrity. The committee was asked to review the applicability and adequacy of standards and practices that could be used for the design, fabrication and installation of offshore wind turbines. It was also asked to review the role of third-party certified verification agents (CVAs) and the expertise and qualifications needed to carry out the role of a CVA. The committee's findings are presented in the following chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) Offshore Wind Technology and Status; (3) Standards and Practices; (4) A Risk-Informed Approach to Performance Assurance; (5) Role of Third-Party Oversight and Certified Verification Agents; (6) Qualifications Needed by Certified Verification Agents; and (7) Summary of Key Findings and Recommendations."--Pub. desc.

Download or read book Offshore Energy and Marine Spatial Planning written by Katherine L. Yates and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation of offshore energy is a rapidly growing sector, competing for space in an already busy seascape. This book brings together the ecological, economic, and social implications of the spatial conflict this growth entails. Covering all energy-generation types (wind, wave, tidal, oil, and gas), it explores the direct and indirect impacts the growth of offshore energy generation has on both the marine environment and the existing uses of marine space. Chapters explore main issues associated with offshore energy, such as the displacement of existing activities and the negative impacts it can have on marine species and ecosystems. Chapters also discuss how the growth of offshore energy generation presents new opportunities for collaboration and co-location with other sectors, for example, the co-location of wild-capture fisheries and wind farms. The book integrates these issues and opportunities, and demonstrates the importance of holistic marine spatial planning for optimising the location of offshore energy-generation sites. It highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement in these planning processes and the role of integrated governance, with illustrative case studies from the United States, United Kingdom, northern Europe, and the Mediterranean. It also discusses trade-off analysis and decision theory and provides a range of tools and best practices to inform future planning processes.

Download or read book Building an Offshore Wind Farm written by Jochem Tacx and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Limited Edition combines part 1 & 2 of Building an Offshore Wind Farm - Operational Master Guide.The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm part 1 is the first book available on the market to specifically focus on the installation of an offshore wind farm. The book draws on the author's hands on experience of the transport and installation of the components for the offshore wind farms. The book also specifies the type of construction vessels used for each specific installation, outlines the required crew members on board and their mandatory basic training programs and explains how the workers travel to and from site. The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm Part 2 - Floating Structures is the sequel of the Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm and is the first book available to the public to specifically focus on the installation of a floating offshore wind farm. Floating Offshore Wind Foundations unlock new renewable energy potential. Average wind speeds are higher and more consistent further from shore and around 80% of Europe's offshore wind resources is located in waters of more than 60 meter depth, where bottom-fixed offshore wind structures are not economically attractive. This means floating offshore wind farms can produce more energy throughout the year and have high capacity factors. Some of the largest potential markets, such as Japan and the United States, possess few shallow-water sites suitable for offshore wind development. Floating foundations could be game changers for power generation from deeper waters as they eliminate the depth constraint. Floating Offshore Wind Structures also open new markets Europe (France, Norway, Spain and Portugal) for the offshore wind energy industry and allows for the harnessing of great wind resources in shallower waters (as low as 30m) where the seabed quality makes bottom fixed offshore wind economically unviable.The book draws on integrated research and the author's experience within the sector and 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.
