ScottishPower Renewables announced that 102 Wind Turbines Installed at East Anglia One,  The Popular  offshorewind.biz  revealed that,  DEME’s  Sea Installer  and  Sea Challenger  vessels have been installing the Siemens Gamesa 7 MW offshore wind turbines at the project site, located 43 kilometers off Suffolk, since June 2019. Wind turbine components were pre-assembled and loaded out from Peel Ports Great Yarmouth. ScottishPower Renewables said that, during the East Anglia wind turbine installation, the company also reached a milestone of installing its 1,000th megawatt of offshore wind power. Furthermore, Siemens Gamesa marked the installation of its 1,000th Direct Drive offshore wind turbine during this project. East Anglia ONE generated the first electricity in September 2019. Once fully commissioned, the 714 MW wind farm will produce enough electricity to meet the annual demands of the equivalent of over 630,000 homes....

March 16, 2017 Robots come in many shapes, sizes and iterations. And though most of us envision the gleaming cyborgs or giant armored machines gleaned from decades of science fiction, at GE, robots are helping one of its Distributed Power manufacturing facilities become safer, more cost effective and efficient. Making its debut in Jenbach, Austria, a different kind of robot is now working alongside its human brethren. A giant robot named Goliath is helping GE staff manufacture some of the most efficient, cleanest, high tech gas engines in the world, faster and safer than ever before. With a power range of 100 kW to 10 MW, they can run on a variety of fuels, including natural gas, biogas, coal seam gases and associated petroleum gases. The Jenbacher* gas engines produced with Goliath are used in dozens of applications, like hospitals, power plants, greenhouses, residencies and even other factories to produce power, heat and cooling. They are particularly popular for renewable and wa...

Written By Deepesh Nanda Any international traveller to Sri Lanka is enthralled by its natural beauty and hospitable people. Preserving its pristine environment is, and should remain, a priority for its government and citizens. At the same time, providing world class infrastructure and ensuring that it is in line with growing needs requires a fine balancing act. Recently, Sri Lanka suffered a series of island-wide power outages, setting off a cascade of automatic shutdowns across the country’s power generation and transmission infrastructure. Facilities like the 900 MW Puttalam plant in Norochcholai – the largest power plant in the country – went offline for over three days. As millions of people in the country were left without power, the blackout clearly illuminated the challenge that the Sri Lankan power sector is facing. Also, as the country faces its worst drought in 40 years, its hydro power capacity has been severely constrained. These circumstances further complicate the pro...
