Global Wind Day is a worldwide event that occurs annually on 15 June. It is a day for discovering wind, its power and the possibilities it holds to change our world. It is also a day for discovery of the work that has already begun by pioneers around the world. In more than 75 countries around the world, wind farms are in operation, generating energy from a clean and renewable source.Thousands of individuals are involved in the production of energy from the wind, but for many people, wind energy is a mystery. Global Wind Day is the day when you can visit wind farms, meet experts, attend events and find out everything you want to know about wind energy. The European Wind Energy Association - EWEA - and the Global Wind Energy Council - GWEC - coordinate the Global Wind Day through a network of partners. The day started as a European one in 2007 and went Global in 2009. On 15 June, thousands of public events are organised all over the world.
Lowering the cost of energy in relation to offshore wind is essential for the industry. Some of the major stepping stones in achieving this are size and subsequent energy capture, which means a need for much bigger turbines that are specifically designed for the challenging offshore environment. With the introduction of the V164-7,0 MW specifically designed for the roughest North Sea conditions, Vestas is taking a major step towards meeting these needs.Source: Vestas
Gamesa launches its new G136-4,5 MW turbine, class III, specially designed for low-wind sites.The machine which strengthens the 4.5 MW turbine range, shares the same design specifications as the G128-4,5 MW, Class IIA: minimal cost of energy (COE) and the same ease of transport and assembly as that of a 2,0 W turbine. A modular design (a segmental blade design unique on the market with 66,5m) makes it as easy to transport and assemble as a 2<0 MW turbine and simplifies maintenance.Gamesa also announces that it will open an office in Hamburg for its offshore business in the second quarter of the year, in order to tap growth in one of the world’s largest marine wind energy markets.Source: Gamesa
