The German wind industry still enjoys continuous growth, as the German consultancy Övermöhle Consult & Marketing (ÖCM), Hamburg, has just published in their last analysis: After having established another record in 2014, the onshore park in Germany shall be expanded to additional 4.250 MW, the offshore sector shall grow by 2.300 MW in 2015/16.

 

A quite challenging situation for the O&M industry searching for more and more technicians.

 

This is the right moment that the Cologne chamber of crafts opens their new center of training for renewable energy technologies. Besides a broad range of equipment for modern technologies, they dispose of a 25 m high tower, a 7 m high windmill nacelle as well as of a mobile nacelle. In various instruction modules of the chamber, O&W service technicians can train their work under realistic conditions. There is a choice of several technical trainings completed by courses of security & rescue instruction. They lead to a certificate, recognized by the GWO (Global Wind Organization).

 

Next training sessions (in German language, with Technical English lessons) will start in August.

Un pacte de collaboration allemand-chinois entre le Land Brandenburg (entourant la capitale allemand Berlin) et la province du Hebei (environnant les villes Beijing et Tianjin) vient d’être signé le 4/6/2016.

Un des fruits de ce partenariat alimentera le processus de développement du power-to-gas de nouvelles expériences : La province Hebei va monter un projet de centrale électrique hybride, équipée d’un électrolyseur de 4 MW. Dans cette installation industrielle conçue à base de celle à Penzlau/Brandenburg, le surplus de production énergétique d’un parc éolien de 200 MW sera utilisé pour produire de l’hydrogène, source d’énergie pour le transport et l’industrie.

Fournisseur de l’usine est McPhy Energy, groupe qui dispose „de 3 sites de conception et de production en France, Allemagne et Italie, d’un laboratoire de R&D en France“ (selon McPhy Energy)
