Utility wind turbines are mounted on massive, multi-turbine wind farms connecting to the transmission system of the country. Large-scale wind infrastructure projects require various property, buildings, and other approvals, as well as effective administration of ties with the various stakeholders involved in the process. The demand growth of the utility-scale sector would be powered by the elimination of barriers to the construction of utility-scale projects

Market Dynamics Drivers Rising carbon emissions and use of renewable resources Carbon emissions in the atmosphere are rising and are one of the main anthropological causes of climate change. The key explanation for this carbon pollution is the combustion or decomposition or combustion of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas. A variety of significant proposals are being required to minimize emissions, such as energy conservation at residence or on the job, the use of public transport, and renewable resources such as solar, wind, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and biomass, hence accelerating the growth of Offshore Wind Energy.

Covid-19 pandemic increases cost competitiveness The covid 19 pandemics have had an impact on the global offshore wind business, causing project delays. Europe is the most affected by the global epidemic and is considered the leading region in the offshore wind sector. The disruption in global trade has limited the construction of projects, which has resulted in increased CAPEX for the projects. According to IEA projections, the offshore wind market is expected to grow at a faster rate post-pandemic, with the average LCOE of USD 50/MWh and increased cost competitiveness being the main drivers of growth.

Restraint Limited area of application and high maintenance cost Wind turbines largely depend upon the wind velocity and therefore cannot be installed at a place where the wind speed is not high enough thus the market growth is limited by the area of application. Moreover, high setup and maintenance cost will further limit the market growth.

The first of 11 8.6 megawatt (MW) turbines has been installed at the worlds largest floating wind farm, off the Norwegian coast. Hywind Tampen is also Norways first offshore wind farm and it will power offshore oil and gas platforms.

Four wind turbines have been fully assembled by Norwegian power giant Equinor, which is developing and will operate Hywind Tampen. Its located around 140 km (87 miles) off the Norwegian coast in a water depth of between 260 and 300 meters (853 to 984 feet).

The substructures are cast in concrete and are 107.5 meters (353 feet) tall. Equinor writes:

With the turbine installed on top, 90 meters [295 feet] will be under water; the rotor has a diameter of 167 meters [548 feet] and the blades are 81.5 meters [267 feet] long.

It will also be the worlds first floating wind farm to power offshore oil and gas platforms.

The 94.6 MW, 488 million ($522 million) floating offshore wind farm will provide electricity for the Snorre and Gullfaks oil and gas fields in the Norwegian North Sea. It will cover around 35% of the five platforms annual power needs.

Equinor asserts that the wind farm will reduce the need for locally produced gas power and thus reduce annual emissions from the fields by about 200,000 tonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to emissions from 100,000 vehicles.

Hywind Tampen is scheduled to start producing power in the third quarter of 2022.

While this is a wind farm with a lot of superlatives Norways first offshore wind farm, the worlds largest offshore floating wind farm, the first worlds first floating wind farm to power offshore oil and gas platforms its tarnished by its purpose.

I initially got very excited about this news, and then felt deflated when I remembered what its going to do.

Norway is the world leader in the most electric cars per capita; its planning planning 30 GW of offshore wind by 2040. But its also Western Europes largest oil and gas producer. The petroleum sector makes up around 40% of Norways exports and 14% of its gross domestic product.

The Norwegian government says it will work to cut the countrys net emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels. Thats aligned with EU targets. But unlike its EU neighbors, Norway says its move to clean energy will be gradual and has no intention of giving up oil and gas exploration.

Norway says it will honor a plan to raise the countrys carbon tax to 2,000 Norwegian kroner ($230) per metric ton. But in April, the WWF rightly called for Norway to stop all oil and gas exploration. WWF secretary-general Karoline Andaur said:

Norway must immediately stop all new exploration for oil and gas, formulate a plan to reduce production from existing fields, and ensure that all choices made are in the best interests of the climate.

As the worlds seventh-largest exporter of CO2 emissions, we stand at a historic crossroads. Now is the time to take our rightful responsibility and contribute to emissions cuts.

The WWF is right. Norway can and must do better.

First turbine installed at worlds largest floating offshore wind farm which will power oil and gas - Electrek

Massachusetts is going all-in on offshore wind power. The states already working to obtain enough for a quarter of its annual electricity. And that figure is expected to grow.

As the offshore wind industry takes off, its expected to create tens of thousands of jobs.

And I think theyre a mix of different jobs. So we have to make sure that were training people up and tooling them up to be ready, says Kerry Bowie, executive director of Browning the Green Space, a group that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion in the clean energy industry.

His organization is working with Xodus, a consulting firm, to reach out to women, people of color, and others who are underrepresented in the clean energy industry. Theyre introducing people to potential career paths and connecting them to internships and training.

So really trying to push people to those programs and let them know that they are there, Bowie says. And then were trying to come back on the backside of it and connect the folk coming out of these programs with internships, apprenticeships, and ultimately full-time employment.

That way, more people in Massachusetts will have the opportunity to get a job in the growing offshore wind industry.

Electronic warfare specialist Plath is developing a communications intelligence (COMINT) payload to assist armoured vehicles in the detection and defeat of anti-tank weapons.

Speaking to Janes, company officials described how the innovative sensor technology was being designed with new technologies to support multiple platforms on land.

Plath is conducting internal research and development to design the payload. However, company sources also confirmed Plath was seeking additional funding from the German Armed Forces.

According to Dr. Ronald M. Meixner, chief executive officer of Plath Signal Products, the new payload comprises a communications warning receiver designed to detect the electromagnetic pulse generated by the launch of anti-tank guided munitions.

Once the launch of anti-tank ammunition has been successfully identified, Meixner described how a vehicle's active protection system (APS) could then be cued to defeat the incoming round through either the deployment of soft or hard kill effects.

Meixner said that several trials have been conducted in co-operation with Rheinmetall, manufacturer of the StrikeShield APS.
