This video discusses the challenges and opportunities of wind energy, particularly in Ireland. It covers various aspects of wind turbine technology, grid stability, energy storage, and Ireland's potential to become a major player in renewable energy. It further explores the engineering behind wind turbines, including gearbox designs, direct drive systems, and the complexities of integrating wind power into the electrical grid. It also touches on Ireland's plans for developing a hydrogen economy and the country's unique position to leverage its abundant wind and water resources for green energy production. https://lnkd.in/d3nbhNkb #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #GreenHydrogen #EnergyInnovation #SustainableFuture #CleanTech #IrishEnergy #GridStability #EnergyStorage #ClimateAction

Can offshore wind costs return to attractive levels? As one of the least C02 intensive electricity sources, offshore wind can help communities around the world meet their net-zero targets. However, recent project cancellations and cost increases of 40 and 60 percent have raised concerns. Our new research explores how the industry could reemerge into structural profitability.

Seven thousand years ago, boats sailed the Nile River, propelled by the wind. Today, wind energy stands as a beacon of sustainability, echoing the past while shaping our future. Let’s explore how this interconnects with us 💨⚡ https://lnkd.in/gFGyExY7 Some highlights from the article: 🔹 The Second Industrial Revolution: Wind electricity generators emerged during this era, but oil soon took center stage. However, the 1970s oil crisis reignited interest in wind energy as a viable alternative. 🌪️🔌 🔹 Europe’s Embrace: Countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark led the charge in wind energy adoption. Despite environmental challenges, the 1990s witnessed the consolidation of wind energy’s renaissance. By 2019, 1.42 million GWh of wind electricity were generated across 127 countries. China played a pivotal role, accounting for 39% of onshore and 28% of offshore installations. 🌍🌬️ 🔹 Offshore Wind: Offshore wind farms gained momentum globally, constituting 4.8% of total cumulative capacity. Key players included China, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, the USA, and South Korea. Challenges abound, from corrosion risks to ecological impact. 🌊⚙️ 🔹 Engineering Solutions: To ensure resilient wind farm installations, we must address corrosion, fatigue, erosion, and microbiological effects. Innovative designs, corrosion-resistant materials, and robust maintenance procedures are essential. 🛠️🔍 🔹 Leveraging Transferable Knowledge: Asset Integrity Professionals can draw from oil and gas industry experience to build reliable, long-lasting wind infrastructure. Let’s harness centuries of wisdom without reinventing the wheel. 🔄🌱 #WindEnergy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #windfarms #circulareconomy #materialsbusiness Monica Hernandez Felipe Rocha #offshorewindfarms #investment #sustinable #energytransition #infinitygrowth Rodolphe Demaine

Earlier in the week I saw Jan Rosenow post this picture and some really incredible facts about Global wind power installations and I just had to share... His post says that Global wind power installations reached a new high in 2023, increasing renewable energy's share of total power generation to 30%.... 🌍 let's take a moment to think about how far this industry has come. If we really want to take this back, in the UK the first windmill for electricity was built in 1887 by James Blyth in Glasgow, Scotland. ⚡ The first wind turbine in the United States was installed by American industrialist Charles Bush in 1888, in Cleveland Ohio the 56 foot diameter windmill was used to light his estate! 💡 Or we can REALLY take it back and mention that people used wind energy to propel boats along the Nile River as early as 5,000 BC and by 200 BC simple wind-powered water pumps were used in China and windmills with woven reed blades were grinding grain in Persia and the Middle East AND NOW LOOK AT US 😍 I personally can't wait to see our industry continue to power forward. Let's continue making a positive impact & looking after our Earth🍃 #renewablenergy #windpower #renewablepower #sustainability

Thinking about wind energy? 🌬 A good site for a wind turbine has unobstructed surroundings and wind speeds above five meters per second! Proper site selection can maximise energy output and efficiency. Join us this #GreatBigGreenWeek, founded by The Climate Coalition, to learn more about renewable energy and how you can make the switch. Stay tuned for more tips! 

I’ve read many, many condemnations of all the subsidies the renewables industry receives from the US government. Here is a brief history of US subsidies for fossil fuels over the last century. That’s $400 billion for O&G, right? And when have renewables gotten $400 billion of “oil depletion allowances” — that O&G still gets even today. https://lnkd.in/ehRuus8m #BatteriesforSolarEnergyStorage #SolarEnergyStorage #EnergyStorage #SolarEnergy #Energy #Solar #Battery #renewableenergy #sustainable #solarpanel #solarinstallation #sustainableenergy #electricity #solarpowered #solarsystem #sunpower #sun #ecofriendly #photovoltaic #nature #climate

The wind energy industry achieved record growth in 2023, but needs to triple its annual installations to meet climate goals. This will require policy changes from governments around the world to address permitting delays and infrastructure limitations. https://lnkd.in/d_W596is
