IT Power's India and UK teams recently organised an offshore wind study tour for an Indian delegation visiting the UK. The delegation was led by Alok Srivastava - the Joint Secretary of the Indian Government's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) - and comprised representatives of Indian industry, government institutions and research organisations including; C-WET, CSTEP, ONGC, GPCL and Suzlon. The visit, which spanned 5 days, was aimed at providing exposure to the UK's planning, development and implementation of offshore wind energy projects. As the world leader in offshore wind, the UK has amassed valuable operational experience, complemented by extensive scientific research from which India can immensely benefit. The tour enabled the delegation to gain a perspective of how offshore wind projects are developed and how this might translate to the emerging sector in India. The week commenced with a workshop at RenewableUK which provided an introduction to the UK's industry, its policies, the project development process and history, and the current key issues facing developers. A key learning was the significance of initial background research on wind resource, metocean and seabed conditions when considering potential sites and a meeting with the UK's Crown Estate helped to demonstrate this. Information on electricity markets, regulatory mechanisms, OFTO and financial incentives were discussed during a meeting with Ofgem - the UK's energy regulatory and monitoring body. At a workshop with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), representatives presented the UK's industrial strategy for offshore wind and the development of the UK's renewable energy policy. A highlight of the week was a visit to Vattenfall's Thanet Offshore Wind Farm off the Kent coast. Despite the fair weather, sea conditions were rather rough and this highlighted the distinct challenges of working offshore and accessing turbines for O how the projects in the UK and Europe have been financed; how to develop bankable projects; the planning of contracting to share risk; and possible options for the financing of offshore wind projects in India. The week culminated in a visit to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office in Whitehall, where a large workshop was held to allow the delegation to meet and discuss topics with a range of organisations from the UK's industry. An evening reception in Durbar Court provided further networking and business-to-business meetings and engagements.

Hamburg: Senvion SE a altogether owned result of the Suzlon Lesson the worlds fifth-largest* manufacturer of wind turbines launched the 3.2M114 for the Canadian market at the CanWEA Tradeshow. The 3.2M114 is measurements of the Senvion 3XM move of 3 MW turbines with a rotor diameter of 114 m. It offers optimum yields on section II wind sites. For its begin in Canada the 3.2M114 has been eager with a bring to an end converter which facilitates its association into various grids cater-cornered Canada and the world. It is in addition eager with a hot air de-icing system. The de-icing system has been grown tested and improve for augmented yields. It is now separation to be validated in the field at the 350 MW wind farm Rivi`ere-du-Moulin in Quebec Canada.The Senvion 3XM move is built on the companys MM move of 2 MW wind turbines combine with the happening gained from immature a 5 MW offshore wind turbine. With similar to 500 MW installed in Europe the 3.2M114 earlier than has a established track inventory. In Canada the 3.2M114 stimulus be on hand on a 100 m rise up. Firstly components such as the blades are separation to be formed by LM WindPower in Gasp'e Qu'ebec. Towers are separation to be stuffed by Marmen in Matane Qu'ebec. Deliveries of the turbines are set to start in 2016.Words on the event of the begin Helmut Herold Senvion CEO North America said: "All of our innovations are based on established technology and marvel which make them exactly clatter. At CanWEA we got reputation that the Senvion 3.2M114 is the devoted wind turbine for the future. It is superior for Quebec and potentially in addition for other provinces such as British Columbia."Words on the event of the begin Andreas Nauen - CEO of Senvion SE said: "With our up till now stretch 3.XM move we stimulus pure at least two gigawatts of newly installed capacity in the introduction two economic being. By always recuperating and adapting our 3.XM move we are achieving heavy yields for our clients. Wind energy has to be and tolerate ruthless. Renewal acting a key personality in this."Mr Tulsi Tanti Chairman Suzlon Lesson added: "The begin of the 3.2M114 in the monetary Canadian market has bonus a fillip to our vision in North America. We take dependable to build on our methodological border and aim new age products and fundamental in section military. We are specified that our business stimulus add have a high regard for to the energy security requirements of countries. Our allocation is to make victorious and efficient wind energy vacant to all."
