The 115MW El Arrayán wind power plant will be the largest wind energy facility in Chile once complete. Located about 400km north of Santiago in the coastal zone of Ovalle, the project was developed by Parque Eolico El Arrayan, a joint venture between Pattern Energy and Antofagasta Minerals.

Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Japan has struggled as many of its nuclear power plants remain off the grid, forcing the country to turn to expensive foreign gas imports. A new report however by Wood Mackenzie highlights the potential wind power has for transforming the Japanese energy mix. Could a great leap see Japan become a wind powerhouse?

The submarine power cable market is expected to grow from an estimated market size of USD 8.12 Billion in 2018 to USD 16.56 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 15.32%, from 2018 to 2023. The overall market is set to witness significant growth because of the increasing offshore wind installations, growing demand for inter-country and island connection, and demand from offshore oil & gas sector. Increasing demand for HVDC connections is one of the major opportunities for the submarine power cable market.

According to a research report "Submarine Power Cable Market by Core Type (Single-core, Multi-core), Voltage (Medium, High), Conductor Material (Copper, Aluminium), End Use (Offshore Wind, Inter-Country & Island Connection, Offshore Oil & Gas), Type and Region - Global Forecast to 2028″ published by MarketsandMarkets, the Submarine power cable is projected to reach USD 22.3 billion by 2028 from an estimated USD 12.9 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period.

The global synchronous generator market size is estimated to be USD 4.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Synchronous generators are essential in power plants for generating electricity on a large scale as they provide grid stability, high efficiency, voltage regulations and synchronization with the grid. The new technological advancements in synchronous generators is virtual synchronous generators (VSGs). Virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) are software-based models of synchronous generators that can be used in power systems to provide inertia and stabilize grid frequency. VSGs use advanced control algorithms to emulate the behavior of traditional synchronous generators, which have been used for decades to provide these grid-stabilizing services. However, VSGs are not physical machines and do not require physical components like rotors or stators. Instead, they can be implemented in power converters connected to renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels, enabling these sources to contribute to grid stability in a way that was previously only possible with traditional synchronous generators.

The G9 Offshore Wind Health and Safety Association, along with the Energy Institute, has published its first annual incident data report, providing a comprehensive look at health and safety in the offshore wind industry.

The US is the second largest producer of wind energy in the world, but output by state varies by factors including size, climate and policy. What are the top ten US states by wind energy capacity

Offshore wind could be described as the younger sibling of onshore wind, with the first offshore windfarm being completed off the coast of Denmark 1991. In countries such as the US, offshore wind is almost non-existent at the moment , but offshore wind is particularly strong in the UK and Europe, with 1.9GW being installed on the continent in the first half of 2019.

While solar, wind, and biofuels are the most well known, there are a number of different sources for renewable power that are often overlooked.

A generator is often defined as a device or system that converts mechanical energy, usually via a spinning shaft, to electrical energy. This technique is based on the electromagnetic induction principle, which states that a changing magnetic field causes an electric current to flow through a conductor. Generators are widely utilized in a variety of applications, including power plants, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, and portable generators for backup power. They play an important role in providing electricity for both household and industrial use. According to a new market research report, the global generator market is projected to reach USD 34.5 billion by 2030 from an estimated USD 23.1 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.
