DNV GL to validate edge-of network management of solar energy storage
DNV GL will serve as accreditor of performance for a federally funded project at Hawaiian Electric Company demonstrating the ability of a grid management solution to deliver on-demand solar energy with energy storage. As Hawaiian Electric advances toward the goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045, the $2.4m SunShot SHINES project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will use SEAMS (System to Edge-of-Network Architecture and Management f...
HARTING to exhibit products certified for ‘Marine’ application
HARTING plans to connect to a new market on the 14th June when it starts a three-day show on stand A42 of the Seawork International exhibition at Mayflower Park, Southampton. HARTING’s expertise in developing electrical connectivity products for harsh environments is highlighted in a range of components suitable to the Marine and Shipbuilding industry.
Unmanaged Ethernet switches gain marine certifications
HARTING has announced that its Ha-VIS eCon 2000 and 3000 16-port unmanaged Ethernet switches are now certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Germanischer Lloyd (GL). Compliant with DNV's rules for classification of Ships, High Speed & Light Craft and Offshore standards, enabling the robust switches to be specified for installation on a wide range of sea-going craft.
Swimming robots for subsea maintenance
An agreement signed by Kongsberg Martime and Statoil with Eelume, will accelerate technology, which will significantly reduce costs related to subsea inspection, maintenance and repair operations. NTNU and Sintef have conducted research on snake robotics for more than 10 years. Eelume is now developing a disruptive solution for underwater inspection and maintenance in the form of a swimming robot. The idea is to let these robots do inspection and...
Goldwind 6MW sees ZephIR Lidar deployment for optimisation
Goldwind Science & Technology has announced the successful installation of wind lidar system ZephIR DM by Beijing New Energy Technology on the company’s 6MW prototype direct drive permanent magnet wind turbine. Goldwind confirms ZephIR lidar systems will be used for optimising the prototype turbine before it enters mass production, measuring power curves, and to understand the effects of wind flow propagation on the turbine’s perf...
Dr. Bernhard Brand wins 2016 DNV GL Global PhD Award
The winning thesis, titled 'The integration of renewable energy into North African electricity systems,' explores how an increasing penetration of renewable technologies – notably wind, photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) can be efficiently handled by North African electricity grids. The thesis is largely built around a linear optimisation model, calculating cost-minimised expansion pathways for different mid-term scenarios...
Belden to exhibit at Hanover Fair 2016
Belden is to highlight a number of solutions for challenging applications at the Hanover Fair 2016. Visitors to the Belden booth will also be able to learn more about the company’s latest innovative products from its Belden, Hirschmann, Lumberg Automation, GarrettCom, Tofino Security and Tripwire branded ranges.
A guide to specifying the right winch drive
The variety of winch and hoist designs is vast and the number of applications almost too numerous to count. However there are some common features and design attributes that can be applied to almost every winch design. Martin Terjesen, Winch Specialist at Brevini, offers some advice on how to specify the correct winch drive.
Aiding adoption of wind remote sensing technology
A new framework deal has been signed by DNV GL which demonstrates IEC compliance of ZephIR 300 wind lidar as adoption becomes standardised.“DNV GL has been at the forefront of assessing Lidar technology and other remote sensors. The objective of this framework agreement with ZephIR is to further advance the standardised adoption of wind remote sensing technology in the wind industry,” commented Detlef Stein, Global Head of Practice Re...
EDF deploys ZephIR Lidar technology
EDF Energy Renewables has successfully deployed wind lidar technology provided by ZephIR Lidar, to optimise site performance at the 144MW Fallago Rig Wind Farm in Scotland. The lidar, a ZephIR DM capable of wind measurements in advance of the turbine, was deployed by EDF ER Asset Management and O&M teams in less than eight hours and was fully operational in just minutes measuring wind data out to 300m in advance of the wind turbine.
