Varian Semiconductor Equipment Corporation Gloucester, MA
A wind feasibility study determined the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of a wind turbine to offset electrical costs at Varian. The project has entered into design and construction phase with operation of two utility-scale wind turbines expected in 2006.
Assessment of Distributed Generation Technology -
Cape Cod Commission/Cape Light Compact
A comprehensive review of available wind turbine technology and other renewables in terms of its economic, siting and performance was performed for the regional planning agency and an intergovernmental agency representing 21 Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard towns. The study assisted the organizations in determining tradeoffs between aesthetic impacts of wind turbines while allowing for economics, and helped develp modern bylaws to govern wind turbine development.
Raytheon Naval Integration Center, Portsmouth, RI – Wind Feasibility Study
A wind feasibility study is ongoing to determine the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of wind turbines to offset electrical costs.
Falmouth Technology Park, Falmouth, MA
A wind feasibility study determined the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of a wind turbine to offset electrical costs for multiple buildings within the Technology Park. Included in the evaluation was a review of meteorology and other site characteristics, an environmental impact and regulatory analysis and economic pro-forma evaluation for the recommended alternative. The project is moving forward into design and construction.
Cape Cod Cooperative Extension - Operating Wind Powered Greenhouses
A study is ongoing to determine the technical and economic feasibility of operating and enhancing wind powered greenhouses on Cape Cod. The primary goal of the study is to provide a thorough analysis of wind turbines with packaged greenhouse energy applications that can be used as a guide for potential host facilities.
Wrights Mill, W. Warren, MA
A Hydroelectric Refurbishment Study study determined the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of re-powering two dams at an historic operating textile mill. Included in the evaluation was a review of hydrologic resources, geotechnical and dam safety aspects, an environmental impact and regulatory analysis and economic pro-forma evaluation.
Leviathan Mine Site, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California
A wind feasibility study report for the off-grid Leviathan Mine Site located in Northern California was performed. The study analyzed innovative renewable and hybrid energy systems to provide economic, off-grid electricity to power a planned contaminated water treatment system relating to the long term cleanup from historic mining. Systems reviewed included wind turbines, wind-diesel hybrids and solar power. A long term meteorological study is ongoing and follow-up feasibility analysis was being performed.
