We knew the gravity of these questions couldn’t weigh you down.
Now that you know the two forces acting on a crane’s wooden platform, check to see if you got the questions right!
The answers to these questions can be downloaded here.

Wood you look at that! We’re back with another Wind Study.
This week we’re taking a closer look at crane pads, their wooden platforms, and the force a crane exerts on them. See if you can solve the latest questions, and come back Friday to check your answers.

Have you ever noticed that One Energy’s turbines have round nacelles (the cover that houses the generating components of a wind turbine) rather than the rectangular ones commonly seen on large wind farms?
That’s because of our generators! One Energy turbines have Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) generators that rotate magnets around a wire to generate electricity instead of utilizing the many mechanical parts of a gearbox.
One Energy’s use of PMDD generators is just one example of how we put safety and quality first, as upsides include:
- increased worker safety
- ease of installation
- increased efficiency
- longer lifetime
- lower maintenance costs
- and increased reliability

- You enjoy doing it
- It comes naturally to you
- The person in your role is expected to do it
- You have the deepest working knowledge of the subject matter
- You are best prepared to answer questions regarding it
- The responsibility for the outcome – good, bad, or otherwise – falls on you
- You don’t enjoy doing it
- Your knowledge of the subject is limited
- You don’t have the time to do it
- It has been sitting in limbo waiting for direction
- It is a good learning opportunity for another trusted person
- You don’t enjoy doing it
- Your knowledge of the subject is limited
- You don’t have the time to do it
- It has been sitting in limbo waiting for direction
- It is not critical to your core business

Many industrial facilities are running on unreliable, archaic electrical systems. With ManagedHV™, One Energy installs digital power systems to replace and modernize those out-of-date electrical systems with state-of-the-art hardware and technology. This enables the facility to:
- Protect valuable factory equipment against voltage-, current-, and frequency-based grid faults
- Customize and future-proof their energy by integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like wind, solar, hydrogen, and EV charging stations
- Promote operational resiliency
One Energy is transforming the power grid, one industrial power system at a time.


We’re ringing in 2023 from the ground up! For this week’s Wind Study, we’re examining a crucial piece of the wind turbine construction puzzle… the crane pad. See if you can solve this week’s area problems and check back Friday for the answers.

The wind vane and anemometer at the North Findlay Wind Campus are catching the last winds of 2022! As the new year rolls around, One Energy is excited to see what 2023 blows our way!
We wish everyone a happy and safe New Year!


Did you think we’re talking about the wind turbines? We like those too, but we’re a little biased. No, we’re actually talking about the large industrial facility producing its power through on-site, distributed energy.
One Energy’s project sites are designed to meet the customer’s specific energy needs. We always have and always will put the customer first.
