Comparative evaluation of different offshore wind turbine installation vessels for Korean west-south wind farm
SEOUL -
New Findings from Pusan National University in the Area of Farming Described (Comparative evaluation of different offshore wind turbine installation vessels for Korean west-south wind farm)
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Energy Weekly News -- Current study results on Farming have been published. According to news reporting originating from Busan, South Korea, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, "The purpose of this study is to evaluate various means of wind power turbines installation in the Korean west south wind farm (Test bed 100 MW, Demonstrate site 400 MW). We presented the marine environment of the southwest offshore wind farm in order to decide the appropriate installation vessel to be used in this site."
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Pusan National University, "The various vessels would be WTIV (Wind turbine installation vessel), jack-up barge, or floating crane... etc. We analyzed the installation cost of offshore wind turbine and the transportation duration for each vessel."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "The analysis results showed the most suitable installation means for offshore wind turbine in the Korean west south wind farm."

Electricity or hydrogen - What is the future of vehicles?
TORONTO - We’re constantly hearing that battery-electric cars are the future, so I was surprised to see that companies like Toyota, Honda and Hyundai are making hydrogen fuel-cell cars. Which technology is better? Could hydrogen still win? – Pete, Kingston
They’re both in their electric youth, relatively speaking, but the ultimate winner in the race between hydrogen and battery electric will likely be both.
“It’s not really a competition – they’ll both co-exist and there will also be plug-in hydrogen hybrids,” said Walter Merida, director of the Clean Energy Research Centre at the University of British Columbia. “Battery-electric vehicles [BEVs] are better…
