A new portable survey solution for monitoring tide, met and other sensors has been launched by leading British oceanographic and hydrographic instrument specialist, Valeport. The new TideStation (Portable) is a self-contained tidal observation hub which optimises performance of instrumentation.
The battery storage solution was presented in Peterhead, Scotland on June 27, 2018, by Batwind partners Equinor and Masdar. Electricity produced at the world’s first floating offshore wind farm Hywind Scotland, located 25 kilometers off the coast of Peterhead, will be transported via cables to an onshore substation where the 1 MW batteries are placed and connected to the grid. The battery capacity is the equivalent of more than 128.000 iPhones.
Sustainable Marine Energy’s (SME) PLAT-I tidal energy platform hosting four SCHOTTEL HYDRO SIT 250 turbines has successfully completed the first phase of its testing programme at Connel, on the West coast of Scotland.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has announced the outcome of its first offshore wind auction. Ørsted was awarded 920MW capacity for its offshore wind sites in the Changhua region. Subject to Ørsted obtaining relevant permits and taking final investment decision, the projects are to be built in 2025. Ørsted’s winning bid price was TWD2,548 (approx. EUR72.3) per MWh.
