Go deeper with GlobalData
With the introduction of GE’s Digital Wind Farm in May, it’s clear that the industry is seeing the benefits of digital tech and data analytics for operations. We get the details on what the energy giant calls ‘the next evolution of wind energy’ and ask how it could affect the market.
Meanwhile, the UK’s onshore wind industry received a blow in June, after the government announced an end to onshore wind subsidies a year earlier than originally planned. We look into the wider impacts. In positive news, findings by IRENA show how the renewable energy job market grew in 2014, and the organisation predicts the trend to continue. We ask what’s driving this growth.
We also talk to Amec Foster Wheeler about its seven-year contract to develop a remote handling system for the ITER fusion reactor, find out how a new research project aims to better protect nuclear power plants in the Nordic region against earthquakes, and look at past successes to learn how entrepreneurs in energy can succeed in making their vision a reality.
