A UK renewable energy development organization is creating an offshore wind farm in the North Sea. This will include up to 20 pre-consented “pods”, at which tenants may deploy their prototype or pre-commercial turbines and foundations. The developer, Narec, is a UK national center focused on development, demonstration, deployment, and grid integration of renewable energy…
15MW drivetrain test facility for offshore turbines
The Brits apparently think 10 MW is not a limit to turbine outputs because U.K. engineers are planning a new drive-train facility to test the next generation of higher power wind turbines, up to 15 MW in offshore applications, according the country’s Energy Technologies Institute (ETI). The test rig will be built at the NaREC…
