Something was destroying the motor bearings of the centrifuge and ventilation fans at the Red Trail Energy Ethanol Production Plant in North Dakota. Plant maintenance personnel realized the bearings on these large motors were failing long before they....
Ever since French physicist Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval first proposed tapping the ocean's thermal energy for power back in 1881, experts have proclaimed that Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) was an idea whose time would never come. Although ther....
The three leading offshore renewable energy technologies are winds, waves, and tides. While widely different in form, these technologies all employ an energy capturing mechanism using either sea or wind. Although a relatively new technology, offsh....
The United States Department of Energy recently projected that in order to meet a national goal of obtaining 20% of our electricity from wind generation by 2030, utilities must integrate some 300 GW of wind generation onto the grid. To accommodate th....
The next 10 years will be crucial for the development of the wave and tidal industry. With the right research and technology, this may be seen in the future as the decade of deployment-the period in which wave and tidal technologies moved into the ma....
The world’s appetite for energy continues to grow, as does the technology available to capture energy. A new system has been developed for eco"friendly hydroelectric power generation that facilitates the efficient, systematic transport of wat....
