        <description><![CDATA[Recent studies conducted by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratories have shown that the coastal belt of Pakistan features a wind corridor with an exploitable wind power potential of up to 50,000 MW. To date the Government of Pakistan has awarded letters of intent to 35 wind power projects with a total capacity of more than 1,500 MW. International Development Banks are financing several of these projects.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the years to come an increasing number of offshore wind turbine (OWT) installations are expected in deeper waters. This will require the use of more complex braced support structures such as jackets instead of the more widely used monopole foundations. For modelling OWT-specific aspects such as rotor aerodynamics and control system actions, designers are required to use a dedicated aero-elastic wind turbine design tool. GL Garrad Hassan has developed a direct link between its own aero-elastic wind turbine design tool Bladed and two industry-leading offshore analysis codes: ANSYS ASAS and Bentley SACS.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A good Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management System is of vital importance in offshore wind farm projects. An effective HSE Management System needs a safety policy which governs the full lifecycle of the project and provides the basis for the prevention of accidents and environmental damages. In her presentation at EWEA Offshore 2011 in Amsterdam, Gundula Fischer, GL Garrad Hassan, shows how safety in a German offshore wind farm project is managed within the requirements of the legislative and regulatory framework.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The process of financing an offshore wind farm is complex, multiple contracts with different suppliers and contractors raises a multitude of commercial risks. The final amount of total capital expenditure (CAPEX) of a project is one of the central questions in financing a wind project and estimating this total CAPEX upfront is a challenge. In his presentation at the EWEA Offshore Conference in Amsterdam this week, Wilhelm Heckmann, GL Garrad Hassan, shows how accurately quantifying these risks, their probability, and the impact of their occurrence, can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of the budget calculation for CAPEX.]]></description>
