Founder-Inventor-CEO, Rollie Rack International/ Rollie Wind Energy Our Primary Objective is to Bring Down the Cost of Clean Energy.
Mr CEO Christian of Siemens Energy, We can feel your frustrations and accountability, you are not alone. All Wind Developers shared the same defeats and failures. Are you ready to hear a piece of unsolicited advice from an engineer-inventor? If yes, but first, you must accept that you were fooled to believe that the windmill turbine is the God of Wind that you've been worshiping for decades which has caused Siemens's downfall. We've been saying loudly since then that Windmill Turbine is a flawed wind technology that is made up of defective core systems that are unfixable. For 3 decades of continuous improvements done to get it right but no good things happened. Loses continue and become unbearable. That's the end game Siemens got, and more other pretending big wind players will follow soon. It's just a matter of a bit of time. What is not acceptable? No one in the windmill industry seems to figure out that Windmill Turbine is made up of defective core systems that by design would hurt the industry's profitability. Wake up mates! we know you are smart people but you can't prevent the apparent scenario that all windmill turbine players are heading to a painful cliff fall unless they change course by discarding unproductive egos. Mr. CEO Christian, Don't despair, we can lift Siemens up and above your expectations to make Siemens a profitable Wind Company for your investors to recover the losses. We will do it jointly like a walk in the park. At your earliest, find a way to reach me, let's have a sit-down meeting to plan the future of Siemens in the right direction. At that meeting, we will show you the technical secrets and workability of our 30MW Rollie Wind Turbine Technology which is far more advanced and powerful than a windmill turbine. You will understand every detail of how it produces huge amounts of power cheaply. You will love watching it. Understandable even by non-engineers. Once you are happy with Rollie Wind Technology, secure the funding, we will jointly build a 30MW Pilot project, the preferred sites we can choose one from: US, Germany, UK, and Australia in a windy coastline, we will occupy 1Hectare of land area only. All components can be manufactured locally in the country that will host the 1st pilot. The safe budget for the pilot is US$ 2.5M Per MW X 30MW = US$ 75M. For Mass Production, would cost US$ 2.0 to 2.2M Per MW, the cheapest! Our policy is simple, those who will heed our call to joinly build the 1st pilot, will become our principal partner to capture and dominate the wind energy industry globally to bring down the cost of clean energy and make it affordable across all consumers. Others are also welcome to join the consortium but under the umbrella as sub-partners. We will drive to transit: From : Expensive Clean Energy Generation with losses To : Low-cost Clean Energy Generation with Healthy Profits. We are looking forward to meeting you sir.

***Maximizing Efficiency in Offshore Wind Farms: An In-Depth Look at Electrical Systems*** Offshore wind farms represent a significant leap in sustainable energy, but their electrical systems must be meticulously designed and managed. These systems are essential to maximizing power capture, ensuring power quality, and maintaining grid stability. Let's break down the control objectives and their impacts at different levels: wind turbine, wind farm, and offshore transmission. Wind Turbine Level: At the individual turbine level, key control objectives are to maximize power capture, optimize power quality, support system operation, and mitigate turbine loads. Maximizing power capture involves adjusting turbine blades to the optimal angle and speed to harness the most wind energy. Optimizing power quality ensures that the electrical output is stable and consistent, minimizing fluctuations that could affect the grid. Supporting system operation involves contributing to grid stability through reactive power control and frequency regulation. Mitigating turbine loads is crucial to prolonging the lifespan of turbines and reducing maintenance costs. Wind Farm Level: For the entire wind farm, the objectives shift to optimizing power quality, minimizing wake losses, and reducing electrical losses in cables. Optimizing power quality at the farm level ensures that the aggregated output meets grid requirements and is of high quality. Minimizing wake losses involves strategic turbine placement to reduce the turbulence created by wind passing through multiple turbines, which can otherwise reduce efficiency. Reducing electrical losses in cables helps in maximizing the amount of generated power that reaches the grid. Offshore Transmission Level: At this level, the primary objectives are to support overall power system operation and comply with grid code requirements. Offshore transmission systems, including High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables, are vital for transporting electricity from offshore wind farms to onshore grids. Compliance with grid codes ensures that the transmission system meets regulatory standards for safety, reliability, and performance. *These control objectives are critical for maintaining power quality, grid voltage, frequency, and waveform. Properly managed systems ensure stable voltage levels and consistent frequency, which are essential for grid reliability. However, if not managed well, issues such as voltage drops or frequency fluctuations can occur, negatively impacting grid stability.* How do you think emerging technologies will shape the future of offshore wind farm electrical systems?👇 See source on image This post reflects my personal knowledge and is for educational purposes only. #ProjectManagement #PrimaveraP6Planner #Dataanalysis #ProjectCostManagement #EarnedValueManagement #RiskManagement #OffshoreWindEnergy #HVDCPowerCables #PowerQuality #BESS #GridCodeComplianceStudies #OHTDLines #OffshoreWindDevelopers

🌟 Rethinking Wind Turbine Service Providers? Why Settle for Less? 🌟 In the wind energy sector, the criteria for selecting a service provider often gravitate towards immediate familiarity, availability, proximity, or sheer size. But are these factors truly giving you the best results? Ask yourself: Are you genuinely satisfied with the performance of your contractors? If things are good, could they be even better?
