ONE ENERGY FEED

As a Utility 2.0 company building the customer-centric power grid ⚡ of the future, One Energy regularly confronts new challenges. This means sometimes we have to modify equipment that currently exists on the market to problem solve unique solutions. In this week’s Wind View, you see this process in action as One Energy Technician, Justin, welds a piece of equipment so it can better suit our needs.

Being a vertically integrated company means One Energy keeps projects in-house from initial evaluation through final construction and maintenance. This week’s Wind View is a glimpse into this integration. James, senior counsel, collaborates with field engineer, Duncan, at OE headquarters on the North Findlay Wind Campus. ‍‍

Building Utility 2.0 demands rethinking the way things have been done in the past. This requires overlap between departments and regular teamwork between employees as we share our expertise and learn from each other to problem solve solutions.

At One Energy, safety is built into everything we do. From our people to our equipment, we believe that when safety is a built-in given, then safety really just is. This culture of safety means making sure our employees have any and everything they might need in an emergency.

Today’s Safety Minute is all about how we promote this culture of safety when outfitting our trucks. OE field engineer Jarrod Carney shows how we equip our trucks: from built-in hardware and design features to the stocking of our EMT bags. This helps ensure our employees’ well-being under various conditions.

This week’s Wind View is a glimpse of the back of a wind turbine as it watches over our blades in the laydown yard at the North Findlay Wind Campus.

Here you can see how the nacelle, the generator, and the rotor (hub + three blades) fit together once finished. Motors in the nacelle allow it to yaw (rotate) vertically in order to face the wind. 💨 As it rotates, it moves the generator and rotor into the optimal position for energy generation. ⚡

You may have seen some of the construction equipment pictured in this week’s Wind View if you’ve driven by one of our Wind for Industry projects as they were being built. But there’s a lot more that goes on behind the scenes of industrial power projects – both before and after the construction process.

As a vertically integrated company, One Energy brings experts together under one roof to develop, finance, build, and manage the operation of our projects. Vertical integration is one of the advantages that enable us to build the customer-centric power grid of the future in-house. Learn more about our vertically integrated services here.

Today’s Science Short is the next episode in our series on simple machines where we discuss the wheel and axle. In this episode, Bower uses an equation to measure the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axel. Watch what happens when we push the pedals of our bike and how much this technology helps!
