DRAX APPOINTS VOITH FOR CRUACHAN 2 PUMPED STORAGE STUDY Renewable energy developer Drax Group has appointed Voith Hydro to conduct a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for the 600 MW Cruachan 2 pumped storage hydro scheme in Scotland. The project, adjacent to Drax's existing Cruachan facility, is a significant step in the UK's transition to renewable energy. Voith Hydro will create a detailed report and models to define the project's scope, design, cost, and timeline. Exploratory works are already underway to gather essential geological data. While the Scottish government has granted development consent, the project's progression depends on updated policies and market support from the UK government. Drax is also upgrading the existing Cruachan plant with an £80M investment to increase its capacity by 40 MW to 480 MW. Drax has emphasized that new pumped storage hydro plants will strengthen UK energy security by enabling more renewable electricity generation. The project is expected to support hundreds of jobs and boost the Scottish economy. ⚡ Follow MPS (Modern Power Systems) for all the latest news daily from the global power generation industry ⚡ #MPS #hydropower #pumpedstorage #energystorage #renewableenergy

I am pleased to inform you that our paper, entitled "Towards the application of renewable energy technologies in green ports: Technical and economic perspectives," has been published in the Wiley-Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Renewable Power Generation. This review paper summarizes the potentials, challenges, and economic analysis of renewable energy technologies (RETs) applications in green ports, emphasizing those that require aquatic environments for operation, including floating photovoltaic systems, offshore wind turbines, and ocean energy. The paper investigates the concept of green ports and explores the feasibility of integrating RETs into these facilities. Also, the potential of the various RETs is presented in terms of technical and economic aspects and installed capacity. Additionally, due to high flexibility in electrical systems and compatibility with maritime transportation, the use of fuel cells in green ports has been discussed as a feasible solution for supplying power to ports (either as the primary or backup source).

📢 Exciting News for Windtechnic! We are thrilled to announce that Ismael Nicolay Grao, a mechanical engineer from our team, is heading to Chile to assess several potential projects featuring advanced wind energy technologies, including turbines over 6MW and tower heights exceeding 160 meters. Our previous work in Chile includes the construction of 89 precast concrete towers in two wind farms located in Northern La Araucanía 🏗 What's more, with a cumulative installed wind power capacity of 3,829MW in 2022 and significant anticipated growth, Chile continues to be a key market for our renewable energy solutions. We wish Ismael the best of luck on this exciting venture! We can't wait to see how his expertise will enhance our development efforts in this dynamic country 🌎 Learn more about our work in Chile ⬇ https://lnkd.in/dG-yw_Um #Sustainability #Windtechnic #WindEnergy #PrecastTowerSolutions #WindEnergyInnovation #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #CleanEnergy #Chile #WindFarm

A good read with some very interesting discussion points.

As part of our current focus on the importance of good Site Investigation and Survey Management, our latest infographic looks at Fixed and Floating offshore wind projects and the main differences needed in the approach to surveying. We'll be discussing this in more detail at our upcoming 'Ask Ternan' event at 12pm on the 12th March - register here https://buff.ly/3SNCvvK and post any burning questions you have on the subject. #offshorerenewables #siteinvestigation #surveymanagement

I'm always surprised to see posts of peaking sites, where Clarke Energy were not even asked for an offer. Whether they need to be housed in an acoustic container or within a building (like that shown below), Clarke Energy have a competitive solution to offer. If your grid connection is >3MWe then we're definitely hard to beat. Sites of 7MWe, 22.5MWe (<50MWth) & 49.5MWe being a particular speciality, due to the high and efficient output of our INNIO Jenbacher units. We can offer full EPC (again as shown below) or simply just the Generating set for packaging by you, and everything in between. So (warning this bit is cheesy) why try the rest, when you haven't even considered the best?

🛣 The Roads. They are the first stage in the construction of a photovoltaic power plant. And the wide way leading from unused field to renewable energy generation capacities, installed to cover electricity consumption of hundreds of 🏡 households in the country. 🎞 The frames from the video below are just the beginning of a large photovoltaic project for which Parapet provides EPC services.
