(archive: 2008) Whither Industrial Wind? #DNK #DEU #ON #USA: Contents: A, B and C: introductory remarks providing context to the rest of the pages. D and E: information about Ontario’s electricity system. Some of the issues discussed are of relevance to any country, state or province. E has been updated as a result of the changes shown in D2. D2: updates D with analysis using actual production information by plant type from Ontario’s Integrated Power Supply Plan that I have just become aware of. There are differences in detail . . . #windpower #windenergy

As yet, the wind is an untamed, and unharnessed force; and quite possibly one of the greatest discoveries hereafter to be made, will be the taming, and harnessing of it.—Abraham Lincoln Wind turbines are a clean and renewable energy source that doesn't require fossil fuels, and the wind is an inexhaustible resource. #RodyCorreaAvila #SergioMAlarcon #LanguageGlobalSolutions #BusinessGrowth 

🌊 Exploring the Untapped Potential of Ocean and Tidal Energy 🌊 When we talk about renewable energy, solar panels and wind turbines often steal the spotlight. But what about the vast energy potential of our oceans? From tidal energy—powered by the gravitational pull of the moon—to wave energy, which captures the constant motion of the ocean’s surface, the sea holds incredible promise for clean energy. There’s even ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), using temperature differences between surface and deep water to generate power. Here’s why ocean energy could be a game-changer: ⚡ It’s predictable—we know exactly when tides will occur. ⚡ It’s reliable—unlike solar or wind, which depend on weather conditions. ⚡ It’s massive—coastal nations could significantly benefit from this resource. The challenges? High costs, infrastructure durability, and environmental impacts on marine ecosystems. But with ongoing technological advancements and investments, we’re inching closer to making ocean energy a key player in our renewable energy mix. 🌍 The future of clean energy may just lie beneath the waves. #OceanEnergy #TidalEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #EnergyInnovation #FutureTech

Did you know that for every wind turbine Jan De Nul installs offshore, we make sure 1.500 meters of bubble curtain mitigate the noise? It’s our way to limit the impact on marine life during the installation of wind farms.   I learned this today during one of the Expert Sessions offered by @JanDeNulGroup. You can see the bubbles clearly on the picture of our heavy lift vessel Les Alizés. The bubble curtains lie in a double ring around the wind turbine. With each ring that the sound waves have to pass through, their power and range decreases. To give you an idea: without the bubbles, the impact would be felt up to 11km. With the double bubble curtain (and other mitigation measures), the impact is limited to 1km. #proudtobeJDN #offshore #lesalizés #energytransition 

Did you know that unlike hydropower, which can be affected by droughts, wind energy generation remains consistent even during dry periods? 💡💨 That's right! Rain or shine, wind turbines keep spinning, providing a reliable and sustainable source of electricity! 🌧️☀️ #WENDYprojectsEU #WindEnergy

Recently, the UK experienced long cloudy weather that made the weaknesses of solar and wind power. This highlighted the untapped potential of tidal power, which is a reliable and constant energy source that doesn't depend on the weather. We need to focus more on using tidal energy to ensure a stable supply of renewable energy, helping us move closer to our goal of 24/7 carbon-free energy! It's time for increased support and action to develop tidal power as a key part of our energy mix. #RenewableEnergy #EnergySecurity #CarbonFreeEnergy #NetZero Source: https://lnkd.in/eVdT3k9S

According to Principle Power, the new designs are natural evolutions of the existing WindFloat technologies that support a wind turbine located on a column in the centre of the platform. Read here: https://lnkd.in/dqTYXfHB #offshorewind #floatingwind #renewableenergy
