Electrotechnical system for 1000 kW WES

01/12/2007 8:10 AM

Our company is projecting and manufacturing of wave energy stations, which generate electricity from sea waves.Stations are made modular type. Each module has power up to 1000 kW.

We are interested by complete electrotechnical system of sea basing, which can work in the subwater position.

Electrotechnical system include: ac generator, transformer, cable, etc.

What electrotechnical company could carry out delivery of accessories, installation and service of such installation?

Siemens, ABB and GE all are capable of generation, switchgear and control equipment, and Siemens may be capable of engineering the cable, but in general none of the equipment manufacturers will also manufacture the cable.

MANDATORY RENEWABLE ENERGY – THE ENERGY EVOLUTION –R6

In order to insure energy and economic independence as well as better economic growth without being blackmailed by foreign countries, our country, the United States of America's Utilization of Energy sources must change.

"Energy drives our entire economy." We must protect it. "Let's face it, without energy the whole economy and economic society we have set up would come to a halt. So you want to have control over such an important resource that you need for your society and your economy." The American way of life is not negotiable.

Our continued dependence on fossil fuels could and will lead to catastrophic consequences.

The federal, state and local government should implement a mandatory renewable energy installation program for residential and commercial property on new construction and remodeling projects with the use of energy efficient material, mechanical systems, appliances, lighting, etc. The source of energy must by renewable energy such as Solar-Photovoltaic, Geothermal, Wind, Biofuels, etc. including utilizing water from lakes, rivers and oceans to circulate in cooling towers to produce air conditioning and the utilization of proper landscaping to reduce energy consumption.

The implementation of mandatory renewable energy could be done on a gradual scale over the next 10 years. At the end of the 10 year period all construction and energy use in the structures throughout the United States must be 100% powered by renewable energy.

In addition, the governments must impose laws, rules and regulations whereby the utility companies must comply with a fair "NET METERING" (the buying of excess generation from the consumer), including the promotion of research and production of "renewable energy technology" with various long term incentives and grants. The various foundations in existence should be used to contribute to this cause.

A mandatory time table should also be established for the automobile industry to gradually produce an automobile powered by renewable energy. The American automobile industry is surely capable of accomplishing this task.

This is a way to expedite our energy independence and economic growth. (This will also create a substantial amount of new jobs). It will take maximum effort and a relentless pursuit of the private, commercial and industrial government sectors commitment to renewable energy – energy generation (wind, solar, hydro, biofuels, geothermal, energy storage (fuel cells, advance batteries), energy infrastructure (management, transmission) and energy efficiency (lighting, sensors, automation, conservation) in order to achieve our energy independence.

P.S. I have a very deep belief in America's capabilities. Within the next 10 years we can accomplish our energy independence, if we as a nation truly set our goals to accomplish this.

I happen to believe that we can do it. In another crisis--the one in 1942--President Franklin D. Roosevelt said this country would build 60,000 [50,000] military aircraft. By 1943, production in that program had reached 125,000 aircraft annually. They did it then. We can do it now.

The American people resilience and determination to retain the way of life is unconquerable and we as a nation will succeed in this endeavor of Energy Independence.

Solar energy is the source of all energy on the earth (excepting volcanic geothermal). Wind, wave and fossil fuels all get their energy from the sun. Fossil fuels are only a battery which will eventually run out. The sooner we can exploit all forms of Solar energy (cost effectively or not against dubiously cheap FFs) the better off we will all be. If the battery runs out first, the survivors will all be living like in the 18th century again.

Every new home built should come with a solar package. A 1.5 kW per bedroom is a good rule of thumb. The formula 1.5 X's 5 hrs per day X's 30 days will produce about 225 kWh per bedroom monthly. This peak production period will offset 17 to 24 cents per kWh with a potential of $160 per month or about $60,000 over the 30-year mortgage period for a three-bedroom home. It is economically feasible at the current energy price and the interest portion of the loan is deductible. Why not?

Title 24 has been mandated forcing developers to build energy efficient homes. Their bull-headedness put them in that position and now they see that Title 24 works with little added cost. Solar should also be mandated and if the developer designs a home that solar is impossible to do then they should pay an equivalent mitigation fee allowing others to put solar on in place of their negligence.

Installing renewable energy system on your home or business increases the value of the property and provides a marketing advantage.

You might be interested in participating in my blog An Engineer's Look at the Future of Energy. We have already generated a list of technologies that may be suitable and are investigating them one by one. There will be a new discussion in Sunday's mail out Future Energy Sources 1.2 Solar Energy that you are more than welcome to participate in.

In the interim may I suggest you become a registered user so you will receive the mail outs and make it easier for all to know with whom they are conversing.

Send me a link from your company. I am studying buying such things for installation around our platfoms. I work for an oil company.

My apologies for long absence at a forum.

Many thanks for your answers. Special gratitude JRaef.

PetroPower

, the first sample of wave energy station power of 1000 kW will be ready in 2008/9.

Problem similar to mine is solved in wind electricity . Difference is use of the equipment of sea execution.

Our station is immersed below sea level when it necessary (when the height of wave is big) otherwise station is float.
