Dr. Beu was the lighting and electrical design coordinator for major projects including the Polus Mall and Sigma Towers in Cluj. After receiving a degree in Building Engineering in Cluj-Napoca and several research grants in Liverpool, Grenoble, Barcelona and Helsinki he earned a PhD in office lighting.

Prof. Beu discusses about energy efficient lighting systems (e.g. compact lamps, LEDs), lighting controls (e.g.motion sensors, intensity / timing control), light/solar tubes, as well as the human aspects when choosing the appropriate lighting system.

See Powergen and E-on Website for more info.

The following excerpt is from the e-on website:

Site Statistics
West Wave
Location Wave Hub, 10 miles off Hayle on north coast of Cornwall
Project scope Up to 7 Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
Turbine height 120-150 metres long
Total power Up to 5MW

Status
Pre-planning

Why West Wave?

The UK is well placed in terms of marine energy. There is significant wave resource around the country, some of the best in the world. It has been estimated that marine renewables could meet 15% to 20% of current UK electricity demand.

E.ON is committed to helping build the UK’s marine capabilities to harness the potential of our seas. West Wave will allow us to learn about wave energy developments and gain experience of the marine environment.

The West Wave Project would:

Supply enough electricity for up to 3,000 homes
Displace around 11,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year
Ocean Prospect

We are developing West Wave jointly with Ocean Prospect, a subsidiary of Wind Prospect.

Wave Hub

West Wave will be located at Wave Hub which is being developed by the South West Regional Development Agency. Wave Hub is effectively an underwater “socket” providing the necessary infrastructure to connect West Wave and 3 similar wave energy projects to the electricity grid. A planning application for Wave Hub was submitted in June 2006 and deployment is expected in 2008/09.

Pelamis

West Wave will utilise Ocean Power Delivery’s Pelamis Wave Energy Converter which is rated at 750kW. The Pelamis is 120-150 metres long, 3.5m in diameter and weighs approximately 750 tonnes.

They also have other renewable projects, details on the website.

COMMENT A CAPTION (to describe the video in LOLcat style).

I’ll get it started: “Conservation cat is conserving your energies.”

For those who are concerned, thanks! But please allow me to point out that:

1) His mouth is nowhere near the exposed prongs. If it’s plugged in…all he can grab is the plastic part of the plug.

2) Outlets are designed such that if you are able to reach an exposed prong, the plug is likely no longer in the socket seat (no power).

3) Regardless of points 1 and 2, except for this video, I keep my plugs safely taped to the wall.

And for those that asked, yes, I wrote the background music…I wanted to commemorate my little friend.

If you like the tune, I posted the mp3 here: http://www.galtmusic.com/mp3/download.html
