About Eirforce

Eirforce Wind Energy Limited is a member of the Irish Wind Energy Association www.iwea.ie and is a dynamic new player in the Irish Wind Energy development business.

The Eirforce mission is to fast-track the development of wind energy projects in conjunction with landowners throughout the island of Ireland.

From the outset, Eirforce takes full responsibility for the implementation of all stages of windfarm development up to completion. This allows landowners with suitable sites an easy entry into this market and the opportunity to exploit locked-in assets to provide a guaranteed revenue stream into the future.

The process is fully transparent and landowners are appraised on a regular basis of the progress of their projects.

Eirforce Wind Energy Limited draws upon the resources of a dedicated team with vast experience of the wind energy business. All aspects of the project are covered in detail to ensure a hassle free development.

Power generation is blowing in the wind
By looking at the stability of the atmosphere, wind farm operators could gain greater insight into the amount of power generated at any given time. Power generated by a wind turbine largely depends on the wind speed. In a wind farm in which the turbines experience the same wind speeds but different shapes (such as turbulence) to the wind profile, a turbine will produce different amounts of power. This variable power can be predicted by looking at atmospheric stability, according to new research.
Ramping up wind energy research
As the percentage of wind energy contributing to the power grid continues to increase, the variable nature of wind can make it difficult to keep the generation and the load balanced. But recent work may help this balance through a project that alerts control room operators of wind conditions and energy forecasts so they can make well-informed scheduling decisions. This is especially important during extreme events, such as ramps, when there is a sharp increase or decrease in the wind speed over a short period of time, which leads to a large rise or fall in the amount of power generated.
Engineers study how hills, nearby turbines affect wind energy production
Engineers are using wind tunnel tests to study how hills, valleys and the placement of wind turbines affect the performance of wind farms. While the wind power industry has data about offshore turbine performance over flat water, there's little information about the effects of uneven ground on wind turbines and their power production.
