If you’ve ever been surfing, or gone swimming in choppy water, you’ve experienced first-hand the striking power of waves. In fact, further offshore, wave activity becomes even more powerful, making it an excellent resource for generating clean, renewable energy. That’s exactly what the Department of
EPL Skylift has demonstrated the effectiveness of powered access by providing equipment that allowed maintenance engineers to work on the world’s first purpose-built ship for installing offshore wind turbines. The T58R truck-mounted platform, which has a working height of 58 metres and is capable of
The primary use of wind power of relevance to climate change mitigation is to generate electricity from larger, grid-connected wind turbines, deployed either on- or offshore wind farm. Wind energy offers significant potential for near-term (2020) and long-term (2050) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions r
The report, published yesterday, follows a summit meeting for the offshore wind power industry convened by Lowestoft-based OrbisEnergy, the regional technology, innovation and incubation hub for offshore renewables, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering.
