Innovations will include product‚ process‚ transaction and business model innovations as defined by Jacobs (2007). In order to be able to study the market and the corresponding innovations we took Nuon as focal company to represent the main actor in the industry; the energy producer/supplier. This will help us answer our main question: How important is innovation in the wind energy market? In order

Offshore Wind Turbine Blade Coating Deterioration Maintenance Model Jesse A Andrawus and Laurie Mackay School of Engineering‚ Robert Gordon University‚ Schoolhill‚ Aberdeen‚ AB10 1FR‚ UK Abstract Maintenance of offshore wind turbine blades has significant impact on the overall cost of managing offshore wind farms. Effective maintenance of protective coatings of wind turbine blades is one of the key challenges of offshore wind farms given that the current condition monitoring systems for

Wind is an important source of non-conventional energy which is cheap‚ pollution-free‚ environment friendly and can be developed away from the sources of conventional energy. This energy was utilised in sailing ships and wind mills since ancient days. In India the generation of electric power through wind mills started in 1950 and by March 1993 about 2‚900 wind pump sets has been installed in seven states of the country. At the beginning of the Eighth Plan the installed capacity of wind-based

“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush‚ who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years‚ which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn’t rise a great deal afterwards‚ this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

Should the Use of Wind Energy Be Encouraged? Fossil fuels are having great impacts toward nature such as global warming and greenhouse effect. Plus‚ the depletion of it contributes to the rising price of petroleum. Therefore‚ wind power rise as it is a source of clean‚ non-polluting renewable energy (Nash‚ 2008). This type of energy generation provides us with loads of benefits environmentally and economically. On the environmental aspect‚ wind energy does not contribute to pollution as almost

consider the relationship of hydroelectric power with the energy from wind power. Our null hypothesis was there is no relationship between hydroelectric power and wind power. Our alternative hypothesis is there is a relationship between hydroelectric power and wind power. We started by finding the regression analysis for hydroelectric conventional versus wind power. The regression equation that we had was hydroelectric conventional= 5631695 + 4.74 wind. There was 23 cases used and 28 cases contain
