Vattenfall has begun marketing balancing power from an offshore wind farm in Germany for the first time. The move enables renewable electricity to contribute to grid stability, as offshore wind generation can be relatively consistent and predictable. The electricity comes from the Veja Mate offshore wind farm, located around 95 kilometres north-west of Borkum in the North Sea.

A full-scale static test by Bladena, a RES company, at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult in England has found that large wind turbine blades deform more under torsional loads than computer models predict. Engineers applied a controlled twisting force to an 88-metre blade at ORE Catapult’s National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth, using more than 70 sensors to measure its response.
