2015 Foundations for larger and deeper Offshore Wind MEC Intelligence
For offshore wind farms installations, foundation selection plays an important role in the overall concept design as there are large financial implications attached to the choices made. Foundation costs are primarily driven by material & installation costs and have been considered in this report.
New foundation designs have lower costs as turbines become larger and installed in deeper sea. For instance, 6 MW, new foundations are ~4-20% lower in material cost when compared to monopiles & jackets while for turbine sizes 8 MW and larger, new designs reduce the cost by ~21-24%. Cost reduction potential of 5-15% is observed for foundations at selected 5 farms in Europe. However, developers need to manage risk and other associated premium costs with appropriate contracting.
This reports presents detailed and fact based evaluation of foundations technologies for larger & deeper offshore wind farms. It also offers an evaluation of innovations that could assist in driving down the cost of the installation of foundation for offshore wind farm operations.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Cost-effective Floating Wind

Saitec Offshore Technologies has developed SATH®
, a competitive offshore wind
floating platform with bottom-fixed technologies
SPECIAL FEATURE: ALL-ENERGY 2017PROFILE
IN
any conversation regarding energy controversy,phrases
such as global warming,electric vehicles,air pollution,
energy efficiency or the nuclear debate tend to appear.
Even if contenders may not agree on their forecasts or arguments,
a general consensus will probably arise in the necessity of increasing
renewable energy share in electric supply. Wind and solar energy
have significantly proved their capacity to bring costs down, and
increase their market share despite variations in oil prices.
Due to the fact that 71% of Earth’s surface consists of seas and
oceans,and as wind resource is significantly better at sea (two times
more energy can be harvested) when compared to onshore wind,
some extraordinary pioneers developed the first offshore windfarm,
Vindeby, in Denmark in 1991.
Since then the offshore wind industry has been firmly established,
particularly during the past decade, with a dramatic reduction of
the levelised cost of energy as the latest Dutch and German tenders
have shown. Nevertheless, all this development has occurred in
shallow waters.
Thus,the last frontier is bringing offshore wind energy to that 44% of
the Earth’s population living within 150 kilometres of the coast no
matter the water depth. This can only be done by creating floating
structures suitable for wind turbines.This way,in the Basque Country,
land of sailors and fishermen, five years have passed since Saitec
Engineering started to work on an innovative idea to combine the
knowledge of the sea with the expertise of civil engineering in order
to create a cost-competitive solution for floating offshore wind.
After countless hours of hard work, Saitec came up with SATH
technology (Swing Around Twin Hull), which can be summarised as
a ‘pre-stressed concrete catamaran-shaped platform’ that rotates
around one point using a single-point mooring system.
The technology is based on several concepts:
n Concrete, as a cheap and durable material, easily adding
local content;
n ‘Onshorised’, i.e. the platform is manufactured and
assembled onshore;
n Single-point mooring, to reduce stresses and allow simple
mooring lines, which are less costly and more feasible for
shallow waters;
n Twin hull, as a way to remain stable in any condition allowing a
‘plug and play’ installation;
n Low draught, in order to operate in the majority of ports; and
n Ship-shaped,to simplify the transportation from port to the site.
These considerations allow SATH technology to be cost-competitive
with bottom-fixed foundations from 35 metres onwards.
In order to commercialise this technology, Saitec Engineering
created a new spin-off called Saitec OffshoreTechnologies in 2016,
which currently has a staff of 15 people focused on floating wind.
Saitec is now developing its first prototype of 2MW to be installed
in BIMEP, a test centre close the coasts of Bilbao, Spain. Saitec
Offshore is also working on several future projects, with a pipeline
of such diverse markets as Scotland or Japan.
Saitec Offshore’s staff resolutely believe that SATH technology can
make floating wind cost-effective, allowing the globalisation of
offshore wind and therefore delivering all its potential.
