PANAMA CITY — Georgia officials believe a body recovered from Lake Lanier on Sunday is that of a star baseball player who disappeared after a boating accident earlier this month. While officials believe the body is Husum, a crime lab will make the final identification. “We expect it is his body,” Adams said. “We just have to wait to hear back from the crime lab to verify our suspicions.” Adams said the final determination would be made in the next few days. “Our thoughts and prayer go out to the family,” he added. Lake Lanier, about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, has a history of fatal accidents. The Aug. 6 incident happened south of Three Sisters Island in water that is estimated to be between 40 and 80 feet deep. Large underwater vegetation, such as trees, in the area complicated the rescue efforts for more than a week. Some Atlanta-area media outlets reported Husum was throwing a football from one moving pontoon boat to another when he jumped to recover the ball, ended up underneath the boat and was hit by a propeller. Other reports said Husum was tossing a football to another passenger of the pontoon boat when he mistakenly fell overboard. DNR officials have yet to release an official account. It could be weeks before the investigation in concluded and an official version of events is determined. The driver of the boat, Kenneth Toller, of Cumming, Georgia, was arrested on charges of boating under the influence (BUI) of alcohol. He was jailed in Forsyth County, Georgia. BUI was the only charge filed at the time, pending the outcome of the investigation. Husum played football and baseball at Bay High School, and later played baseball at Gulf Coast State College before going to James Madison University in Virginia, where he had been awarded all-conference honors for his play as center-fielder/pitcher. Below is an earlier version of this story: CUMMING, Ga. (AP) — Officials say a body found in Lake Lanier is believed to be that of a missing Florida man who fell out of a boat earlier this month. Multiple news outlets report authorities say the body was discovered Sunday near Three Sisters Island, which is where 23-year-old baseball standout Kevin T. Husum, of Panama City, fell from a pontoon boat on Aug. 6 and did not resurface. The body will be sent to the GBI crime lab for positive identification. Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials say they used sonar equipment to try and find Husum, and also performed surface and shore sweeps twice daily. Authorities say the boat's operator, Kenneth Toller of Cumming, was arrested on charges of boating under the influence. It's unclear whether he has an attorney.

We are dedicated to supporting our customers with high quality and resource-efficient solutions that help replace fossil-based materials and support the circular economy,” says Mika Joukio, CEO, Metsä Board. From left: Mika Joukio (CEO, Metsä Board), Viveka Beckeman (CEO, Skogsindustrierna) and Jussi Linnaranta (Chair of Metsäliitto Cooperative Board of Directors) cutting the ribbon at Husum. Between 2019 and 2023 Metsä Board Husum has undergone an extensive investment program. The first phase was completed in December 2022, including a new recovery boiler and turbine at the Husum pulp mill with an investment cost of EUR 380 million. The new modern equipment and processes enables Husum mill to significantly increase bio-based energy production and energy efficiency, contributing to Metsä Board’s target of fossil free mills by the end of 2030. The Husum mill is one of Örnsköldsvik municipality's largest employers and plays an important role for the region and in the large-scale conversion to the bioeconomy. Husum's products play an important role in providing alternatives to fossil-based materials in consumer packaging globally, the main markets being Europe and North America. 2011 1:30 a.m.00:00 / Some recreational river runners are worried the Yakama tribe might soon erect fishing platforms and scaffolding across Husum Falls That could prevent boaters from running a waterfall that's meant big business for private and commercial rafting companies That means salmon should be returning soon to the base of Husum Falls upstream from where Condit recently blocked the White Salmon River Yakama tribal fishermen are excited about fishing the falls again But some recreational river runners are worried the tribe might soon erect fishing platforms and scaffolding across Husum Falls That could prevent boaters from running a waterfall that's meant big business for private and commercial rafting companies The mood was raucous at the Wet Planet rafting company in Husum as 300 people gathered to watch a live video feed of the destruction of Condit Dam "The explosion in this tent was just as big as what we are seeing on screen here," said Wet Planet co-owner Jaco Klinkenberg Check out Wednesday's coverage by Northwest News Network's Tom Banse and video and stills from americanrivers.org Many people are excited not just because the dam came down but because salmon are expected to return to a White Salmon River that hasn't seen its namesake fish for nearly 100 years But the return of salmon might also mean the end of the party for rafters once fish again reach Husum Falls located about 10 miles upstream from the mouth of the now free-flowing White Salmon River cheers are what you hear at Husum Falls as boaters take the 15-foot plunge over the largest commercially run waterfall in the United States they'll probably pool up at the base of Husum Falls And fishermen from the Yakama Nation plan to be there to greet the salmon The Yakama have their own ideas about the significance when I think of Husum Falls area I think (of the Yakama name) which means "this land is a part of us," said Emily Washines the restoration coordinator for Yakama fisheries Yakama leaders said they hope to fish at Husum as they did before Condit Dam kept salmon from moving upstream Their fishing rights are guaranteed by a treaty signed in 1855 the Yakama used wooden platforms and large scaffolding that extended out over fishing areas near waterfalls But any obstructions at Husum could be potentially dangerous to the thousands of rafters who like to run the falls Washines said the tribe hasn't made any definitive plans yet "There's a multitude of viewpoints to what Husum Falls might look like and that it varies anywhere from 'we should fish from the rocks' to 'we should use scaffolding,'" she said "So where we're at right now is we're presenting that in a plan Klinkenberg said she understands the tribal importance of Husum Falls but hopes the tribe also understand the current economic importance of the falls to rafting business today "Husum Falls is the highlight of the trip for people that come rafting on the White Salmon River," she said "We run thousands of people -- it might be close to 8,000 to 10,000 people a year and Klinkenberg estimates close to 25,000 people rafting the White Salmon River each year Washines said the tribe understands the current economic importance of Husum to rafters but that doesn't mean the two groups meet on this issue as equals we would be a sovereign nation that is coming together with a recreational group," Washines said Klinkenberg said she knows that rafters are the newcomers on the water She hopes that simple communication will result in an agreement that can keep all sides happy the time that the Condit was built until now is just a blink in time for the tribes.' It's their river but I kind of respect that," Klinkenberg said "We'll make it work; we have to make it work." Washines said the tribe is working on a fisheries plan right now and could present a plan to the community within a few months (This was first reported for opbnews.org.)

said Tuesday “He was just the best,” said Bay High School Principal Billy May Foley’s Restaurant and was a partial owner of Red Elephant Pizza His customers admired him for his gracious tableside manners when he checked in calling him “the epitome of a fine gentleman,” said Floyd Skinner Husum’s employees — many of whom followed him when he left Outback Steakhouse to open the Red Elephant — looked up to him as a mentor and leader “One of the first things he taught me is that everything will fall into place with kindness I think he installed that into every one of his employees.” Infinger said Husum “took a chance on him,” hiring him as a chef when he was just 24 especially students at Bay High School who needed employment Joey Kiessig was 15 when Husum hired him as a busboy “Our electricity and water had been shut off and we didn’t have money for rent,” Kiessig said “I came from a situation with a lot of bad people and a lot of abuse.” “He stuck his neck out for me,” Kiessig said “He probably could have gotten in trouble for hiring a 15-year-old George was willing to make an exception for me gave him a sense of self-worth and guaranteed him a job while he was in school Kiessig became the first person in his family to graduate high school and then the first person to graduate college He now works as an analyst at an investing firm in Chicago “I owe a tremendous debt to George Husum,” said Kiessig and nieces and nephews would have been far worse I probably would have ended up selling drugs and I likely would have been in and out of jail my entire life.” Kiessig said he’s sure there are others like him that Husum helped “He gave many young Bay High students a job but he mostly taught them the value of doing a good job and respecting the value of work,” said Assistant Principal Kris Palfrey Husum was active in Bay High School’s athletics programs but “he supported every player on the football and baseball field,” May said helped hire coaches and could be relied upon when the school needed something “I don’t know what we are going to do without him,” May said “We will carry on in his honor,” said Candy Shaw Metsä Board Corporation press release

her growing endurance and speed would often leave the team in the dust,” Hood River News wrote “finding solace and strength in her five weekly runs and daily exercise and nutrition regime.” she was later diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a diagnosis that put her “in total despair,” Elsasser told Hood River News a fellow long-distance runner who was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s — leading her about 20 minutes before the first bomb went off She had supporters all along the way — “Friends and family joined her in Boston and groups of friends formed prayer circles at home Coffman had 37 text messages awaiting her in her hotel room She felt ‘completely surrounded’ by love.” Some parting thoughts Elsasser left in the article: “The route of the marathon were lined with thousands of people cheering each other along; great runners There wasn’t one step of the way that I didn’t feel connected to everyone there The other story was the connections — the little kids people everywhere — all there to share in the incredible experience."

packaging materials The Husum pulp mill will be renewed in two phases The programme will increase the annual production capacity of BL1 at the mill by approximately 200,000t The additional capacity will be operational by the end of 2025 The final investment decision for the first phase of the programme was made in December 2020 A new modern soda recovery boiler and a turbine were installed in the facility along with the ICT installations of the turbine control room and various departments as part of the first phase They replaced the mills’ existing recovery boilers The first phase became operational in December 2022 The new boiler and turbine replaced the use of heavy fuel oil with bio-based fuel increasing Metsa Board’s bioenergy output and taking it closer to its aim of achieving 100% fossil-fuel-free production by the end of 2030 The renewal will also reduce the company’s water usage significantly by 2030 A new centralised control building comprising social facilities and office space for the pulp mill was also developed in the mill two existing lines will be replaced with a new fibre line A new modern digital system integrated with logistics systems controlling the flow of production and communication with other systems The mill will be equipped with the new system by late 2023 The renewal programme will be carried out throughout the 2020s the mill was expanded with the addition of a new folding boxboard (FBB) production line with an investment of €170m ($184m) The expansion transformed the company into a complete paperboard firm The new production line produces approximately 400,000t of high-quality folding boxboard a year which took the company’s gross annual folding boxboard capacity to approximately two million tonnes (mtpa) by 2018 The FBBs produced at the plant are primarily supplied to markets outside Europe The standard paper production at the Husum mill ceased completely at the end of 2017 which resulted in the termination of the production of approximately 600,000t of paper a year Metsa Board invested €39m ($43m) in a new 100,000t extrusion coating line and associated infrastructure at the Husum mill which became operational in the first half of 2017 Metsa Board’s new production line features a BM1 FBB which was installed between mid-October 2015 and January 2016 The 6.66m-wide machine has the latest modular design of headboxes Its wet end area is based on OptiConcept M frame construction which avoids the need for cantilever beams for fabric changes The fabrics are changed by means of fabric insertion units The

capacity has been completed at the Husum integrated pulp and paperboard mill in Sweden With the modernisation of the board machine 1 (BM1) the annual production capacity of folding boxboard (FBB) will be increased by 200,000 tons to reach 600,000 tons paperboard machine in Europe and further strengthen Metsä Board’s position as the leading European supplier of folding boxboards The expansion of folding boxboard capacity is in response to the growing demand for packaging materials made of renewable resources The BM1 produces folding boxboards that are lightweight which saves on raw materials usage and helps to reduce the carbon footprint of packaging The capacity expansion is realised by extending the length of the board machine and adding more drying capacity The machine extension is only part of the wide scope project Improvements have also been done in other parts of the machine line to improve runnability and quality consistency The off-machine coater has been upgraded to accompany higher speeds and larger jumbo rolls At the same time the logistics of transporting on site jumbo rolls between the board machines extrusion coating line and winder is now fully automated The full production capacity is expected to be reached by the end of 2025 “By increasing Husum's production capacity we are responding to the growing demand for packaging materials that support the circular economy The first phase of the recently completed renewal of the Husum pulp mill further increases the production of bio-based energy and the mill integrate’s energy efficiency This helps to further reduce the carbon footprint of our products and also helps our customers reach their sustainability targets,” says Mika Joukio The additional capacity will be directed mainly to the North American and European markets where the demand growth for Metsä Board's premium lightweight paperboards is expected to continue Husum BM1 produces market-leading premium lightweight folding boxboards with a basis weight range of 175–355 g/m2 The products are used for packaging dry food and frozen food beauty care products as well as for food service and graphic applications Link to photo

family cherishes their time together while searching for a brighter future for children with DIPG.The sound of toes prancing and the sight of tutus fluttering filled the studio on a frigid February afternoon at Columbia Gorge Dance Academy in Hood River Dancers in little pink ballet shoes lined up one after another as teacher Nancy Clement began her Tuesday class for 4-year-olds The blonde haired and blue-eyed girl put up a fit when her parents tried to get her dressed before class Vivian has difficulty walking and it had worsened within the last couple of months Clement modifies the class to accommodate Vivian’s needs including grabbing her hand as the class speeds up Vivian is one of the 200-400 children between the ages of 4-11 with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma DIPG is a tumor located on a portion of the brainstem called the pons Its location makes it impossible to remove with surgery Most children with DIPG are given 9-12 months to live on average The causes of DIPG remain unknown and treatment options are limited Vivian continues to fight after more than a year with DIPG Doctors and researchers are hopeful additional research and clinical trials will turn up more options for children like her learned of their daughter’s diagnosis after she presented symptoms in January of last year Vivian was riding her child-sized electric four-wheeler outside their Husum Vivian complained of a headache that seemed to pass within minutes Vivian had been experiencing headaches for some time one of Vivian’s eyes began to deviate inward A pediatric ophthalmologist examined her eyes and diagnosed strabismus the most common eye deviation in children that most outgrow The headaches coupled with the eye deviation and a facial nerve palsy prompted the Weavers to schedule a rushed MRI for Vivian appeared uniformly bright and larger than usual on her MRI “We wake up every morning and it's like this nightmare that never ends,” Katie said Knowing that we will try and try and try to help save Vivian but the likelihood of that happening is more than narrow.” Katie and Simon were told to “go home and make as good of memories” as they could Less than 10% of children with DIPG survive two years following diagnosis Radiation therapy is the only known treatment to have any effect on the disease Temporary shrinkage of the tumor often relieves pressure on functions of the brainstem which have little to no data to support their effectiveness One reason for this is insufficient funding for pediatric cancer research generally and for DIPG research specifically Just 4% of federal funding for cancer research goes toward pediatric cancers none of the more than 250 clinical trials for DIPG have shown improvements in chances of survival while a nurse prepares to draw blood on Jan have researched a myriad of options to save their daughter’s life They’ve even tried some alternative therapies in hopes of contributing to the greater understanding of DIPG and its possible treatments Princess costumes hang high on the wall outside Katie and Simon’s bedroom an experimental headgear device that Vivian wears Vivian is the first patient with DIPG — and the first pediatric patient in the world — to use the Voyager The headband-like device emits ultra-low frequency waves The electric impulses mimic chemotherapeutic actions without the invasive nature of side effects but the device’s effectiveness for managing DIPG is yet unproven “We continue to employ a number of different approaches all of which are experimental,” said Simon “with the hope that it does something and with the hope that the knowledge we gain from trying those things might help other kids.” Vivian’s routine had become a slew of appointments and waiting rooms in the year since her diagnosis Vivian unsteadily roamed the halls of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland entirely decked out in pink Simon had noticed a change in Vivian’s speech patterns as her words began to slur together “And on that day it became very clear that the tumor was growing again,” said Dr Vivian’s pediatric neuro-oncologist at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital The news that Vivian’s tumor had grown since December wasn’t a huge surprise to Katie who knew that Vivian’s worsened balance likely signified progression “It's certainly a really heavy weight to carry and to bring to a family and to put on their shoulders,” Nazemi continued Vivian Rose Weaver continues to sit still after technicians made her radiation mask at OHSU on Feb The next move for Vivian was to undergo a second course of radiation to control her symptoms This is a new development in DIPG treatment from the past couple of years Doctors are now willing to go beyond the previous maximum amount of radiation in dire situations such as DIPG progression “Getting that much radiation in one place in your body is not good,” Simon said “It will cause cancers if you lived long enough and the daunting acknowledgment is that none of these kids are going to live long enough to see the cancers develop from that amount of radiation.” A big trampoline sits beneath a towering ring of trees outside of the Weaver home What once embodied endless entertainment gradually became a sight of fear for Vivian Her left leg isn't strong enough to support herself anymore robbing Vivian from her favorite outdoor activities her interests may reflect only what she is physically capable of doing Despite impairments brought on by tumor progression Vivian has made significant physical improvements with the help of Annette Broddie Broddie is an occupational therapist and owner of KidSense Pediatric Therapy Center in Hood River and aims to help children overcome obstacles to daily functionality “I have treated children with cancer before Broddie works with Vivian on motor skills to improve her gait “Her roles right now are to play and learn.” Whether it’s stringing beads on a pipe cleaner to strengthen ocular motor skills or stepping on stones through a low-level obstacle course to get to Unicorn Island Broddie believes having game-like activities will engage and motivate kids in their challenge Vivian’s diagnosis uprooted the Weavers’ daily regimen They travel across the map for doctor’s appointments in Portland Simon has taken Vivian to Young Life’s Father Daughter Dance in Hood River Katie helped Vivian put on her pink dress and pulled her hair back into a tight ballerina bun topped with a tiara Some strands of hair hadn’t yet grown back and hung loose on the back of her neck Katie and Simon cherish the time they spend with Vivian and her younger sister “I’m perfectly content just spending my days looking after my kids and making sure they feel loved,” Katie said as she draws at her art table in their home on March 20 Vivian’s diagnosis has shifted priorities for the Weaver family “When your immediate family and your loved ones are suddenly threatened you circle the wagons and everything that might have been an interest or a passing fancy or a passion prior to that ceases to hold importance,” Simon said Katie and Simon started a chapter of the Defeat DIPG Foundation in their daughter's honor in an effort to raise money and awareness for this rare disease Researchers continue to investigate and better understand the nature of DIPG Kellie Nazemi at OHSU said research into how doctors deliver medicine shows promise perhaps increasing the chances of discovering effective treatment for DIPG “I'm daring to dream that the long-term outcome for DIPG is that we will find a way to control this disease,” Nazemi said Simon continues to talk about the future with his daughter telling her that she will be the best mom and best wife there has ever been Katie Weaver adds a change to a piece of art work hung in the laundry room of their home in Husum Balloons and string lights decorated the dance floor at the Elks Lodge in Hood River for the Father Daughter Dance Vivian and her father sat near the dessert table eating cookies Vivian and her friend walked to the dance floor and their fathers followed Simon scooped up Vivian and swung her around to the beat of the pumping pop music playing on the stereo Though tired from dancing after a couple of songs Vivian pushed past the physical limitations brought on by progression

Complete lifting system using the PK 40002 M nacelle crane The PK 40002 M nacelle crane will be presented at the booth. With an outreach of up to 25 meters and a lifting moment of 31 mt, the knuckle-boom crane has proven itself in use on wind turbines of a variety of offshore wind farms such as Thornton Bank I, II & III, Nordsee Ost, Ormonde and Alpha Ventus. Thanks to the compact design, there is space for the PK 40002 M in virtually any nacelle. Typically combined with a PSM 400 platform crane, it delivers the perfect combination of supply ship, platform and nacelle. Supply and maintenance work can be carried out safely and quickly thus shortening idle time of the wind turbines. PALFINGER France added as new dealer for PALFINGER WIND Contracts were recently awarded in France for five new wind farms off the coast of Normandy and Brittany. Thomas Nitsch, Head of PALFINGER Wind Cranes, says: “Our expansion of PALFINGER WIND’s dealer network in France is the consistent implementation of our strategy of being present with competent contacts wherever there are offshore wind farms. The next steps are already being planned for Spain and China.” PALFINGER France, with its headquarters in Etoile/Rhône in the southeast of France, will be on site locally in future for prospective customers and customers of PALFINGER WIND.

More than a decade later, the land was up for grabs again as the Second Schleswig War erupted Prussian authorities moved in and over the next few decades instituted a slew of new laws suppressing anything remotely Danish the Danish farmers caught on the wrong side of the border dispute were none too pleased—and they were especially upset by the new rule forbidding them from raising their home country’s flag Danish farmers tried to create a new breed of pig that faintly resembled their beloved home's flag The banner of Denmark is relatively simple—a flat red background covered by a long white Nordic cross—so all the pig needed was a coat of red fur and one or two prominent white belts there are fewer than approximately 60 flag-striped breeding animals still alive today these cake-covered tables are a tradition on the peninsula © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved he worked as a longform feature writer for the web He's embedded with professional eclipse chasers in Nebraska and once profiled a man who had tried to turn into a goat Mental Floss may receive a commission for purchases made through these links.",{"type":"6h","value":"ga"},"AR_1",{"type":"6h","value":"gc"},"This article contains affiliate links to products selected by our editors as well as products provided to Mental Floss for review purposes d) {\n h = h[d] = h[d] || {\n q: [],\n onReady: function(c){ h.q.push(c) },\n };\n d = o.createElement(u);\n d.async = 1;\n d.src = n;\n n = o.getElementsByTagName(u)[0];\n n.parentNode.insertBefore(d \"https://www.datadoghq-browser-agent.com/us1/v5/datadog-rum.js\" Initialize Datadog RUM and then measure TTFB/FCP\n window.DD_RUM.onReady(function() {\n // 3a Initialize RUM\n window.DD_RUM.init({\n applicationId: 'f3f16add-4ebf-4aad-9bb4-adb13da4d17e',\n clientToken: 'pub53fad8ec1eea29e2f92980d95072da2f',\n site: \"datadoghq.com\",\n service: \"voltax-sites-www.mentalfloss.com\",\n env: \"prod\",\n sessionSampleRate: 100,\n sessionReplaySampleRate: 0,\n trackUserInteractions: true,\n trackResources: true,\n trackLongTasks: true,\n defaultPrivacyLevel: \"mask-user-input\",\n });\n\n // 3b Measure TTFB & FCP once the page fully loads\n window.addEventListener('load' {\n ttfb: ttfb,\n fcp: fcp,\n });\n\n // Optional: log them to console for debugging\n console.log('[Datadog RUM] TTFB:' In 1848, the countries went to war, with Denmark winning claim to the land.

PCS Power Converter Solutions GmbH in Berlin is further expanding its portfolio for generating electricity using wind turbines The new Green Line Grid Stability product line supplements the existing product range to ensure the low voltage ride through capability (LVRT) of wind turbines PCS will present examples from the Green Line Family of full power converters as well as a grid stability solution from September 18 – 22 at the HUSUM WindEnergy trade fair in Hall 3 at Booth 3A11 innovative and interesting approaches to wind energy are not only a result of the upcoming HUSUM WindEnergy trade fair – the necessity for innovation in the field of wind energy is growing of its own accord as wind energy becomes increasingly established in the worldwide energy mix and the number of installed systems rises The industry must remain innovative in all areas in order to continue this pattern of growth – from the political framework and legal regulations all the way to technical solutions and the resulting product design these are the requirements that are placed on the wind turbines of the future This also demands new levels of performance from the development departments in the supply industry In order to be able to ensure power supply using wind energy while meeting the requirements for optimum grid compatibility and a high level of energy output wind turbines need reliable and efficient frequency converters The PCS Green Line family of power converters offers a wide range of applications and systems to meet this need Full power converters for total yield and optimal grid integration Full power converters for synchronous generators are currently the fastest-growing technology on the wind market Synchronous drives offer an extremely high energy output and can better fulfil the grid requirements in connection with the full power converter PCS will be demonstrating all aspects of their full power converter solution: from its monitoring and control functions to its modularity and flexibility all the way to its partial load capability The PCS Green Line full power converters rely on liquid-cooled IGBT-based 4-quadrant converters Each power module offers an output of up to 500 kW (620 kVA) The inductor-type parallel circuits make the converters scalable in 500 kW increments PCS is also currently developing an innovative integrated overall solution for converting wind energy to electricity The PCS Green Line System complete solution is a sophisticated integrated power generation system comprised of power converters transformers as well as control units for the entire system The basis for the successful establishment of PCS Green Line Systems on the market is PCS’ intensive cooperation with partners who can offer many years of experience in the industry and are deeply committed to the continued development of wind energy New dimensions of grid stability for new systems and for retrofitting wind turbines may no longer disconnect from the grid in the case of a grid breakdown This means that primarily old systems and specific generator concepts are technically overwhelmed PCS will be presenting their current product solution for grid stability at HUSUM WindEnergy The established Green Line 1000 reactive current converter has been supplemented to create a complete solution for low voltage ride through (LVRT) – the Green Line 3000 This solution does not disconnect from the grid during a grid breakdown (LVRT) thus fulfilling all of the international grid code requirements for wind turbines the Green Line 3000 reduces the strain on mechanical components and ensures a stable energy output As both a solution for retrofitting or for installation in new systems the product can easily be integrated into any system The Green Line 3000 LVRT solution is available for various performance classes Since it is only used for brief periods of time Together with the Green Line 1000 reactive current converter PCS offers a complete solution that allows systems to reliably stay operational during drops in voltage and continuously produce energy This technology has been tested under the most difficult climate conditions – including in the largest test center for wind turbines in China This makes PCS an even greater expert in the area of wind turbine grid integration renewable energy is key to the future of

The 25th anniversary of the successful wind fair is being celebrated in Husum today with high-calibre guests from the fields of politics and business Guests will include Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister-President Torsten Albig and minister for economic affairs Reinhard Meyer A limited edition wind chronicle is also being launched during the celebrations charting a quarter of a century of HUSUM Wind managing director of Messe Husum & Congress: “When the Husum Wind Energy Days were held for the first time on 14 October 1989 the wind industry was still in its infancy it is the cornerstone of the energy transition and the job engine for the regional economy and we are looking forward with anticipation to the forthcoming HUSUM Wind in September 2015 here in North Frisia.”  Minister-President Torsten Albig: “Schleswig-Holstein has made an above-average contribution to the development of the wind industry – not just in Germany the HUSUM Wind trade fair has significantly contributed to the fact that Schleswig-Holstein’s role in this has also been recognised far beyond the region.”  After speeches by Peter Becker and Minister-President Torsten Albig there will be a panel discussion about the importance of the Husum fair for the wind industry and the current challenges facing wind power As well as minister for economic affairs Reinhard Meyer the panel will include major industry figures Hans-Dieter Kettwig founder of 8.2 Consulting AG and Hermann Albers president of the German Wind Energy Association The celebrations also includes the launch of the Wind
