Energy flow optimization between neighbours that generate and consume Electricity is one of the cornerstones of modern society. Specifically, the market of renewable energy is developing quickly due to the growth of the energy demand and a greater awareness of climate change. So, new and interesting opportunities show up. The energy production of the [...]
New Norvento’s wind farm approved. At the beginning of June, Galician Regional Government, Xunta de Galicia, has approved a new wind farm that will be developed by Norvento: Olerón Wind Farm. The wind farm will consist of eight wind turbines totalizing 24MW. It will be located in the councils of Rois and [...]
Energy Mega-Projects that Links Continents In the global race to stop climate change, ditching fossil fuels as energy source is the number one priority. The European Union plans to cut at least 40% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and 80-95% by 2050. At present, Europe imports 60% of its energy in the form [...]
Inicio de la instalación de los aerogeneradores en los nuevos parques eólicos de Norvento. Esta semana ha comenzado la instalación de los primeros aerogeneradores en el parque eólico de Sasdónigas tras la finalización de la obra civil. En la actualidad, Norvento tiene en construcción seis parques eólicos: Sasdónigas I y II, Neda, [...]
The installation of the wind turbines of Norvento’s new wind farm has started. This week the installation of the first wind turbines has started at Sasdónigas wind farm after the civil works have ended. Now, Norvento has six wind farms in construction: Sasdónigas 1 & 2, Neda, Carracedo, A Pastoriza and Cadeira, [...]
Waste used for transportation It is undeniable that we are facing a mobility paradigm shift. The fuel model based in technical and economic monopoly of fossil resources ─above all diesel and gasoline─ seems to be ending and alternatives based in renewable sources show up continuously. These technologies are more efficient and cause less [...]
Nuclear Fusion & the ITER Project by Alberto Loarte Nuclear fusion is the process by which stars produce energy. It involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to produce helium. This process transforms the mass of the nuclei into energy, according to the famous equation E=mc2, very efficiently —in fact, it is the most [...]
Advanced electrification for remote urban areas Microgrids are small-scale electrical systems that replicate large electrical systems; both, in the way they are managed and often also in the quality of the energy they generate. So, we differentiate between what at Norvento we call “microgrids” from the small isolated systems that have existed for [...]
Norvento tests an electrical generator prototype for offshore wind applications. Norvento has started the validation tests of the new electrical generator prototype specifically designed for offshore wind. A more efficient and smaller generator that allows the reduction of the size and weight of the turbines. The prototype is being tested in the [...]
Cinco pasos a seguir (¡desde abril!) para asegurar que las renovables cumplan parte del nuevo código de red En este artículo exploraremos a través de un ejemplo los cinco pasos a seguir para asegurar el cumplimiento de los requisitos de potencia reactiva que aplicarán una vez entre en vigor el nuevo P.O.12.2 [1].
