Grid energy storage – Forms

Batteries Battery storage was used in the early days of direct-current electric power networks, and is appearing again. Battery systems connected to large solid-state converters have been used to stabilize power distribution networks. For example in Puerto Rico a system with a capacity of 20 megawatts for 15 minutes is used to stabilize the frequency [...]

Blue Canyon Wind Farm – Introduction

The first phase consists of 45 NEG Micon 1.65& MW wind turbines, with a collective nameplate capacity of 74.25& MW. It began commercial operations in December 2003. The [...]

Renewable energy in the United Kingdom – Microgeneration

Microgeneration technologies are seen as having considerable potential by the Government. However the microgeneration strategy they launched in March 2006 was seen as a disappointment by many commentators. Microgeneration involves the local production of electricity by homes and businesses from low-energy sources including small scale wind turbines, ground source heat pumps and solar electricity installations. [...]

Binary economics – Uses of central bank-issued interest-free loans

Binary economics proposes that central bank-issued interest-free loans should be administered by the banking system for the development and spreading of productive (and the associated consuming) capacity, particularly new capacity, as well as for environmental and public capital. While no interest would be charged, there would be an administrative cost as well as collateralization or [...]

Sweetwater Wind Farm – Stages

Construction of the 585 MW wind farm has proceeded in five stages, and some generating capacity is still being built. Stage 1= Stage 2= Stage 3= Stage 4 Sweetwater stage 4 employs 135 Mitsubishi 1.0 megawatt wind turbines and 46 Siemens 2.3 megawatt turbines. Its output is being sold to San Antonio’s CPS Energy under [...]

Prairie Hills Motorsports Club – Facility Design

POWER cluster – Offshore wind power

Compared to onshore wind power, offshore wind power is more complex and costly to install and maintain but also has several key advantages. Winds are typically stronger and more stable at sea, resulting in significantly higher production per unit installed. Wind turbines can also be bigger than on land because it is easier to transport [...]
