The company filed an application with PJM, the regional transmission organization that coordinates the electrical grid in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia, to interconnect the proposed turbines to the transmission grid. Dominion Energy's filing is a vital first step to move forward in developing Virginia's full offshore wind potential. The company looks forward to working with the Northam Administration and other partners on next steps in public policy needed to realize both the clean energy and economic potential of offshore wind.

If approved, the project would be located in the 112,800 acres Dominion Energy currently is leasing from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. Following the key filing with PJM, ocean survey work is expected to begin in 2020 and a Construction and Operations Plan will be submitted in 2022.

Building on an expected successful deployment of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project in 2020, Dominion Energy plans to move forward with its commercial offshore wind project in three phases, each totaling 880 megawatts. The first phase of the buildout will support initial generation of wind energy by 2024. Additional phases will come online in 2025 and 2026, totaling more than 2,600 megawatts of energy, enough to power 650,000 homes during peak wind.

Mr Mark D Mitchell, vice president of generation construction said that "Offshore wind is an excellent renewable energy source and this filing with PJM shows how serious we are about bringing commercial-scale offshore wind to Virginia, giving our customers what they have asked for more renewable energy. Governor Ralph Northam has made it clear Virginia is committed to leading the way in offshore wind. We are rising to this challenge with this 2,600-megawatt commercial offshore wind development."

Wind & Solar Power to Overtake Hydroelectric Plants in Brazil

The expansion of wind energy and photovoltaic solar power plants in Brazil is about to overtake hydroelectric plants as the main energy matrix in the country. According to the Ten-Year Energy Plan, which sets the guidelines for the expansion of the electricity sector in the country until 2027, hydroelectric plants, which in 2018 represented 64% of the Brazilian energy matrix, will go on to answer for only 51% in the period, while alternative sources, mainly wind power and solar, should jump from the current 22% to 28%. In the 1980s and 1990s, hydroelectric plants accounted for about 80% of the Brazilian energy matrix. If before the energy needed water in the reservoirs, now it depends on the wind and the sun, which have great oscillations during the day.

Due to this, the National Electric System Operator, the body that manages the activation of the generation plants and the use of the transmission lines to guarantee the electricity supply in the country, has designed an application that uses the data of wind forecasts provided by specialized institutions to project the generation of wind power plants.

In addition, the ONS is finalizing another application to have the forecast on the production in the solar parks, increasingly present in the country, and which must become operational within two years.

ONS Director General Luiz Eduardo Barata said that “There is an increase in volatility. It is a huge change in relation to the past, when the energy matrix was basically hydrothermal.” According to Barata, with the two applications, “we will know in advance more or less what actions have to be taken in the system, in order to compensate for the variation of wind and solar generation.”

Brazil could be considered privileged because it is fortunate to have a lot of sun and wind in its territory, which makes it easier than in other countries to develop an energy matrix with renewable sources.

Most Wind Capacity in US is Designed for Medium Wind Speed Environment - EIA

Most wind turbines in the United States were designed for medium wind environments, according to data collected in the US Energy Information Administration’s Annual Electric Generator Report. Wind design classes, as defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission, range from Class 1 (high wind) to Class 4 (very low wind). Many of the earliest wind projects in the United States were constructed in California using Class 1 turbines. These earlier projects required high wind speeds to generate sufficient wind-powered electricity to offset relatively high installation costs. Technological improvements in wind technology, such as longer blades and higher tower heights, have allowed installation in areas with lower wind resources where it might not have been economically feasible previously.

The IEC defines wind design classes based on the average wind speed, 50 year extreme gust, and turbulence. Wind speeds are measured at the height of the hub, or the center of the circle swept by the turbine blades. Wind speeds generally increase with height, so taller turbines can usually access better wind resources than shorter turbines at the same site.

Class 1 turbines are designed for average wind speeds of 10 meters per second (m/s), or about 22.4 miles per hour (mph), and extreme wind gusts of 156 mph. Class 4 turbines are designed for very low speeds, averaging 6 m/s (13.4 mph), and gusts of 94 mph. Classes 1 through 3 are further divided based on turbulence, or how much the wind typically varies within a 10-minute period.

As of the end of 2018, the United States had a total installed wind generating capacity of 94 gigawatts. Four states Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Kansas accounted for more than half of the electricity generation from wind turbines in 2018. California has more wind capacity than Kansas and more turbines than Kansas and Oklahoma combined but generates less electricity from wind than those states because California’s wind turbines tend to be older and shorter.

Texas has more than one-quarter of the country’s wind capacity, and 80% of Texas’s turbines are in either Class 1 or Class 2 environments. By comparison, only 30% of Iowa’s turbines are in Class 1 or Class 2 environments.
