Archimedes – "The Open CAD" – (also called Arquimedes) is a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed with direct input from architects and architecture firms. The program was made to create software more compatible with architectural design than the currently widely used AutoCAD, and other available CAD softwares. [1]
There are three operating offshore wind farms in the United States, and several more are in permitting or under construction. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management studies potential sites in federal waters for offshore wind energy development and leases sites to developers, who work with state regulatory agencies to interconnect and market their electricity.
Turbines at the Casselman Wind Farm in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The Casselman Wind Power Project is a wind farm in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, with 23 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines that began commercial operation in 2007.
The world's tallest vertical-axis wind turbine, in Cap-Chat, Quebec Vortexis schematic Vertical axis wind turbine offshore. A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine.
Brought on line in 2012, the three wind turbines at Fields Point in Providence are each rated at 1.5 mW. Manufactured by Goldwind USA, they each have 150 ft (46 m) blades and height of 364 ft (111 m) and together supply about 40 to 50 percent of the electricity used by the Narragansett Bay Commission's (NBC) regional waste and storm water treatment facility.
SunZia Wind is a 3.5-gigawatt wind farm being developed in New Mexico, United States, in Lincoln County, San Miguel County and Torrance County. [1] When completed, this will be the largest wind project in the western hemisphere. [2]
The concept was set forth in a plan offered by then Rhode Island Governor Donald L. Carcieri in 2006. The aim of the Carcieri plan was to develop large-scale offshore wind projects in the south-eastern New England region of the United States, and in the State of Rhode Island, in a bid to diversify Rhode Island's power supply with renewable energy sources.
