April 27, 2022 – Wind Views | Lower-Mid Tower Stacking

Constructing a wind turbine tower can be a tall order. Let’s find out how tall!

One Energy’s turbine towers come in four sections: the base, the lower-mid, the upper-mid, and the top. The height of the turbine tower once all four sections are stacked is 257 feet. In this week’s Wind View, you can see One Energy’s Construction Team setting the lower-mid tower section on top of the base section.

April 26, 2022 – “A New Approach to Wind Power with Jereme Kent,” Insider’s Guide to Energy Podcast

One Energy CEO, Jereme Kent recently spoke with Insider’s Guide to Energy’s Chris Sass.

During the interview, Jereme and Chris discuss everything from the massive transition corporations are making towards on-site sustainable energy sources, to some candid perspectives on wind turbine recycling, to why we need to update the way the power grid communicates.

April 25, 2022 – “University of Findlay students tour One Energy wind campus on Earth Day,” WTOL

For Earth Day, a group of University of Findlay students visited One Energy’s North Findlay Wind Campus. The field trip allowed the students to get a first-hand look at how on-site wind energy is being used to directly power our customer’s facilities.

WTOL’s Jon Monk covered the field trip. View the full segment (including an interview with One Energy Field Engineer Duncan Penizotto) here.

April 25, 2022 – Wind Study | Question 6

Get ready to circle back to reactive power – a topic you may remember from the first Wind Study of this year. This time around we’re learning how capacitors and inductors create reactive power through reactance.

See if you’ve got what it takes to solve this week’s problems, and come back Friday when we’ll post the answers (and how we arrived at them)!

Download this week’s Wind Study homework questions here.

The answers will be posted this Friday. In the meantime, be sure to share this educational series on Facebook and Twitter!

April 20, 2022 – Wind Views | Lawn-ching into Spring

Pictured below is the beautiful backyard view from One Energy’s headquarters at the North Findlay Wind Campus.

Two weeks ago, we caught up with our Custodian, Art Tennant, to film his Climb to the Top. During the interview, Art spoke about the different areas he maintains in and outside the office, including keeping our grounds looking top-notch. He had the following to say about what motivates him every day: “This is why I come to work… I just want them [visitors] to know I and One Energy both take pride in the way we present our building, our grounds…”

April 13, 2022 – Wind Views | A Solid Foundation

You’ve probably heard that the key to a good relationship is a solid foundation. Here at One Energy, we couldn’t agree more.

A successful wind turbine installation starts with the strength of our foundations. This week’s Wind View takes you through a foundation pour process. Check out the video to see how Construction Team Technicians place, shape, and vibrate concrete poured from the Telebelt onto iron rebar, before rolling out the smooth final product.

One Energy’s wind turbine foundations have approximately 300 cubic yards of concrete and 40-60,000 pounds of rebar! That’s a solid foundation.

April 08, 2022 – Wind Study | Answer 5

Wasn’t this week’s #WindStudy a gas? We thought so too! For those of you who enjoyed it as much as we did, here are the answers.

This week’s questions were all about gas laws and pressure changes in an enclosed space, like the one below. Follow along as we show you how to find the molar volume, convert temperature units, and calculate the pressure. That was some high-pressure work, we’re going to take a break before Monday’s question.

April 08, 2022 – Climb to the Top | Art Tennant

Can you imagine keeping a 22,000 square foot building full of people, equipment, and “dirty boots” running smoothly? Find out what it takes in this episode of #Climbtothetop with OE custodian Art Tennant!

Hear Art talk about his transition from elementary school custodian (and graduation speaker!) to go-to-guy for all of our physical spaces, his boot washing invention, and EMT training at OE. It is easy to see why Art considers “adaptation” to be key to his Climb to the Top. ⤵️

April 06, 2022 – Wind Views | Intern Spotlight

One Energy interns wear a variety of “hard” hats. From construction to cooking, interns learn the ins and outs of working at a Utility 2.0 company and what it is like building industrial power projects.

This week’s Wind View comes from the top of a turbine. A team of technicians and interns climbed over 260 feet to service the aircraft warning light. There is never a dull day at the North Findlay Wind Campus!

April 04, 2022 – Wind Study | Question 5

After publishing a number of Wind Study features, we’re finally tackling the series’ namesake: WIND!

Why does warm air rise above cold air? And what does that have to do with wind? The answers to these questions (and more) can be found in this week’s Wind Study homework questions – download them here.
