June 9, 2024 - the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus No.365 dated May 23, 2024 comes into force, which establishes that certificates confirming the origin of energy issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment before the entry into force of this resolution are valid withou
According to a new report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), the total capacity of wind energy installations brought online in 2023 reached record levels at 118 GW (approximately 107 GW for onshore WEUs and 11 GW for offshore). In 2023, there was a 36% increase in wind installations worldwide compared to the previ
The rise in fossil fuel prices in 2022 led to an increase in cost savings due to reduced demand for such fuels. According to experts, the global savings from using alternative energy sources amounted to about $521 billion USD. Asia was the leader in savings with $199 billion USD and Europe - $176 billion USD. The small
The development of wind farms leads to the creation of more powerful and modern wind turbines. As a result, electricity generation increases and there is an increase in the capacity factor of WEUs (Wind Energy Units). This development occurs at quite rapid rates; for example, the previous record was set in summer 2023,
The development of wind energy installations is marked by a characteristic "gigantism." To reduce unit costs in turbine production and increase the efficiency of wind farms, manufacturers are increasing the height of towers and the diameter of wind wheels. With the advancement of design technologies for wind power plan
For the maintenance works of the Enercon E66 generator, it is required to dismantle the wind turbine rotor and the generator itself directly. To perform these tasks, specialists from the company OOO "EcoTEK" were engaged. Two cranes were used for conducting the specified work: the main crane LIEBHERR LTM 1500-8.1 with
As wind power grows as a clean energy source, debate continues about renewables and the environment. EcoTEK specialists answer common questions on how wind turbines affect nature, wildlife, and human health.
According to a new report by the research company BloombergNEF (BNEF), in 2022, 86 gigawatts (GW) of wind turbines were put into operation worldwide. After two years of record growth in the construction of new wind farms, there was a decrease of 15% compared to 2021. The reasons for such a reduction are the increase in
Presented by Vestas at the beginning of 2021, turbine V236-15.0 MW updated a new record for daily electricity generation from a single wind installation, generating 363 MWh*h. The previous record was 359 MWh*h per day and was set in 2022 by an offshore wind turbine SG 14-222 DD with a nominal capacity of 14 MW from Sie
Many countries around the world are increasing their use of renewable energy sources through solar power. The development of efficient photovoltaic panels and a reduction in capital expenditures for implementing projects in the field of solar stations allow for large-scale project realization. In this article, we prese
<p>About the EcoTEK Wind Park, the EcoTEK Wind Park is located near the village of Staraya Vodva in Shklovsky District, Mogilev Region. The wind power plant consists of six NEG Micon wind turbines with a nominal capacity of 1 MW each. They were built in two phases in 2014-2015 years. To select the construction site for
In Germany, in the federal state of Saxony, a wind monitoring mast was installed with a height of 30e meters. At this time, it is the tallest wind measurement mast in the world that brings wind measurements to new heights. The development of engineering solutions during the design of wind farms leads to an increase in
