Thursday, 11 March 2021 The Atlantic Endeavor crew transfer vessel (CTV), owned and operated by Atlantic Wind Transfers, America’s first CTV operator, has recently been delivered by UK vessel designer Chartwell Marine to support Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) pilot wind farm.

Chartwell Marine, headquartered in the United Kingdom, oversaw the vessel’s construction despite travel restrictions from the coronavirus pandemic. The company used data-driven analytics to foster an open and collaborative process with Atlantic Wind Transfers and US commercial boat builder Blount Boats & Shipyard in Rhode Island.
With several gigawatts of offshore wind capacity to be installed the next few years, the US offshore wind sector must rapidly build its maritime supply chain to ensure new projects can be constructed, operated and maintained effectively. Atlantic Wind Transfers selected the Chartwell Marine design, which can keep pac

Ingeteam has designed its new INGECON SUN FSK power station aimed at large-scale solar plants and battery energy storage systems, since its nominal power allows it to reach 7.2 MW of medium-voltage output power. INGECON SUN FSK power station
This new design has been thought to make installation and connection work in the field as easy as possible. For this reason, it is supplied with all the elements previously connected at the factory. In addition, this solution can be transported both by land and by sea, since it can be placed directly on the trailer of a truck or inside a 40-foot container, allowing it to be installed anywhere in the world.
Thursday, 11 March 2021 In February, those living in Texas suffered from a harsh winter storm. Freezing temperatures
well below the average caused people to either travel for warmth or find other ways to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature. Pixabay
Along with the frigid weather, power outages swept across the state as well. As the storm passed through, Texans were forced to turn up their heat. With so many people turning on their heating systems at once, the energy demand was higher than ever, and the electric grid could not handle it. Therefore, millions of Texans found themselves suddenly without heat and power.

Thursday, 11 March 2021 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued Oregon State University a license to build and operate the nation’s first pre-permitted wave energy testing facility, culminating an unprecedented regulatory process that spanned nearly 10 years.
PacWave South is the first commercial-scale, utility grid-connected test site in the United States to obtain a FERC license and will be the first marine renewable energy research facility in federal waters off the Pacific Coast.
The test site, located about seven miles offshore southwest of Newport, Oregon, will offer wave energy developers the opportunity to try different technologies for harnessing the power of ocean waves and transmitting that energy to the local electrical grid.
