Defects are not Damage, Damage is not a Defect   Defects are often colloquially referred to interchangeably with damage; however, this conflates cause and effect in a way that can lead to confusion regarding repairs, dispositions, and root cause analysis work. Defects are usually observed through damage but, in many cases, may never manifest as damage due to variations in blade loading, environmental factors, inherent safety margins in the design, and operational changes.   Repairs can be utilized to address damage and, in some cases, can reinforce against defects. This, however, requires a deep understanding of blade fundamentals, the manufacturing process, operational constraints, and appropriate scoping of a repair.   The value in an RCA is generally associated with defining risk populations and options for future risk mitigation. At Gulf Wind, we pride ourselves on taking an additional step by ensuring these future risk mitigation actions can be implemented into repairs, operational changes, or inputs to avoid the risk being introduced into the blade fleet in the first place. #RCA #Engineering #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SustainableTech #GWT #ShellGWTaccelerator

Hitachi Energy invests over 80 million euros to expand transformer capacity and operations in Spain. The investment is part of the company's $1.5 billion expansion of its global transformers capacity and footprint to accelerate the clean energy transition. Here’s what it means: ⚡️ The factory in Cordoba will support the increasing need for power transformers and shunt reactors 👷 The project will generate up to 75 new jobs 🏭 With 32,000 square meters and process enhancements, the upgraded facility will optimize performance and boost capacity Read the full story here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eTQAebSE: #HitachiEnergy #HitachEnergyTransformers #Transformers #ProudToBeHitachiEnergy #TowardsCarbonNeutral #HitachiEnergyFeature

AFRY has proudly supported the Norwegian authorities (NVE) in studying the cost and Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) levels of 20 new areas for offshore wind development. As part of the process to identify the costs of different offshore wind technologies, AFRY was selected by Norwegian authorities (NVE) to create a comprehensive offshore wind cost database and set up a customised LCoE model for detailed scenario analysis modelling of LCoE. Although AFRY’s assessment took place in 2024, the 30 GW of offshore wind projects were scheduled for completion by 2040. Consequently, this study played a crucial role in advancing Norwegian offshore wind development and supporting the energy transition. AFRY's assessment illuminated key factors concerning the cost levels of both fixed and floating offshore wind projects, as well as various grid connection technologies. Additionally, AFRY modelled the LCoE levels to help the Norwegian authorities (NVE) evaluate and compare different scenarios, such as the economic viability of each proposed area under varying market conditions. The study focused on providing detailed insights into each of the 20 areas proposed for offshore wind development, including specific geographical, environmental, and logistical considerations. At AFRY, we understood the importance of realistic LCoE figures in turning future plans into actual offshore wind projects. Our hands-on engineering and development background formed the basis for our site design and cost models, which considered all detailed site, supply chain, financial parameters, and developments. For any inquiries regarding LCoE analysis or other services in offshore wind development, please contact our Global Offshore Wind Competence Center Bayram Mercan, MSc, PMP. Imke Maassen van den Brink.

As you can see, I'm more comfortable at the top of a wind turbine hanging on a safety rope than I am in front of a lens. Being the CEO of Global Blade Service USA isn’t all about overseeing operations and making strategic decisions. Sometimes, it means stepping out of my comfort zone and getting in front of the camera. But hey, all in a day’s work! If you're interested in learning more about our blade repair training programs and how they can elevate your team's skills, feel free to reach out.

We not only plan it, we are committed to the operation. Surveying both loading and discharge to guarantee clarity and ease of operation. Our team provides the highest quality reports, updates, and photos so you can stay "in the know" on your projects. #PortofHouston #Texas #Transportation #logistics #heavyhaul #wideload #oversize #trucking #energy #oilandgas
