Sensitivity mapping of harbour seals, grey seals and harbour porpoises to the construction and operation of offshore wind farms in Danish waters #DNK

Preface This report contributes to the project “Environmental mapping and screening of the offshore wind potential in Denmark” initiated in 2022 by the Danish Energy Agency. … The project is carried out by NIRAS, Aarhus University (Department of Ecoscience) and DTU Wind. The overall project consists of four tasks …: Sensitivity mapping of nature, environmental, wind and hydrodynamic conditions. Technical fine-screening and assessment of the overall offshore wind potential based on the sensitivity mapping and relevant technical parameters. Assessment of potential . . .

15 typically ignored costs of industrial wind energy

Periodically I get asked: What is the true cost of industrial wind energy? It seems like that should be a relatively straightforward answer, but it is anything but. To appreciate what is going on, we need to understand the Big Picture regarding wind energy. The system is set up to grease the skids for wind energy developers – not ratepayers. When it comes to wind energy, we are dealing with 21st century snake oil salespeople. They have a sophisticated multi-part strategy . . .

How Much Oil Is Required to Run a Wind Turbine?

Key Takeaways Gear oil: around 800 gallons per turbine for gearboxes. Transformer oil: approximately 1200 gallons per turbine for transformers. Annual oil consumption: averages 80 gallons per turbine. Synthetic oils are preferred for wind turbine applications. Proper maintenance crucial for productivity and environmental sustainability. Oil Consumption in Wind Turbines Wind turbines require a significant amount of oil for proper operation, with an average turbine consuming up to 2000 gallons of oil. This oil consumption is divided between the gear oil, . . .
