Renewable Energy from Waste in the U.S.: Status and Trends for the Future

For ten years, the University of Michigan and Muhlenberg College have conducted the National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE), which explore Americans’ attitudes towards energy and climate change. The researchers recently published Solar, Wind, and State Mandates: 10 Years of Renewable Energy in the NSEE, which considers how Americans’ views on solar and wind energy have changed over the past decade. The report also explores attitudes towards and knowledge of state energy mandates, such as renewable portfolio standards. In this webinar, lead author Sarah Mills discussed the report’s findings and revealed the results of a new 2018 survey.

Controlling the generation, enhancement and distribution of wind power requires rapid processing and dissemination of data to operators at the local site and at distant operation centers. Learn how to utilize available control and management systems to give wind farm operators real-time data to make operational decisions that ensure wind farm bankability.

ENSURE THE COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONAL SAFETY OF YOUR GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT With the growth of geothermal energy ramping up in recent years, project owners and operators are under pressure to ensure that their projects are up and running on time and on budget. Understanding and adhering to the requirements and regulations relevant to geothermal projects is necessary to prevent costly rework and delays. This becomes more challenging when projects are managed internationally as different countries may have different regulations. TÜV SÜD has developed a guideline to ensure that your safety and compliance topics are covered so that you can obtain your geothermal project certification before commissioning in a timely, cost-effective way.
