The share of U.S. electricity generation from wind energy has grown from less than 1 percent in 1990, to about 10.2 percent in 2022. To achieve this accomplishment over the past two decades, the wind industry had to increase the rated capacity of...
Wind energy continues to be a pivotal player in the global shift towards sustainable power sources. As the wind industry advances, so does the need for efficient and reliable methods to monitor the health of wind turbine components, with a...
Despite some initial setbacks, the U.S. is making significant progress in meeting its climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. As it stands,
The Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 2022 marked the most significant action the United States has taken on clean energy to help galvanize the country’s green energy projects. The progress is already evident: The US...
Picture this: A wind developer is planning a new onshore project. When the planned construction location was selected, the developer considered the physical condition of the land, the availability of electricity transmission infrastructure, and...
As concerns about the impacts of climate change mount, new offshore wind projects up and down the East Coast are feeling the crunch of inflation, skyrocketing interest rates, and supply chain difficulties. It’s a perfect storm that is reducing the...
The rapid increase in renewable energy generation around the globe has made existing wind farms a very desirable resource. As a result, many organizations are either acquiring a wide variety of wind turbines or evaluating those they already have; in...
The criticality of offshore wind and the role it will play in helping achieve global net zero targets by 2050 cannot be underestimated. In 2020, global capacity was sitting at 30GW. Fast forward to 2050, and the generating capacity will have to make...
