In this new e-book, Making Advances in Offshore Wind, you can find out how to integrate multidiscipline collaboration and streamline the analysis and design process. You will learn how project costs can be reduced while improving project deliverables.
On the River Ntem in Cameroon’s South Region, the Memve’ele Hydropower Station will have a total installed capacity of 211 megawatts with four single-capacity units of 52.75 megawatts and a water reservoir of 82.71 million cubic meters
This USD 60 million project involved installation of two offshore wind turbine generators off the Virginia coast. As one of the first offshore jacket substructure wind turbine generator installations in the United States, the project will demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of offshore wind energy, particularly the savings associated with innovative foundations and substructures.
China Three Gorges New Energy and Dalian Power Generation, owners of multiple offshore wind developments in China, contracted Shanghai Investigation, Design, & Research Institute (SIDRI) to design an offshore wind farm in the Bohai Sea.
In regards to wind energy, the onshore wind industry has grown for decades and has been adapted by many countries around the world. The offshore wind industry is relatively newer; however, it has witnessed rapid expansion in the United States, Europe, and Asia in recent years. Furthermore, the cost of offshore wind has fallen dramatically, and it is speculated that this will become the cheapest form of energy in the industrialized world.
Bentley’s OpenWindPower is the comprehensive engineering tool for designing offshore wind turbine foundations, leveraging the company’s renowned solutions for fixed and floating offshore oil and gas structures over the last 40 years.
