Modern wind turbines are made to produce at least 15 MW of energy, which is more than the current 10 MW. “ The industry is rapidly moving toward floating wind technology and more efficient turbines.
It is in this “surface layer” region that wind turbines operate in the atmospheric boundary layer. I will present key new knowledge extracted from high-fidelity large-eddy simulations by Jarred ...
Early component failures leading to turbine shutdowns have a significant impact on profitability. On average, an offshore ...
“We appreciate the support of FUCHS Lubricants for our wind turbine drivetrain test facilities, which fulfill a critical need in advancing wind energy in the U.S. and beyond.
The bulk of a wind turbine – towers, foundations, and steel-based drivetrain components – is relatively easy to recycle. However, components like blades, generators, and nacelle covers are ...
A Norwegian startup claims that its strange wind turbine design will be able to produce more than double the electricity of the largest unit on the planet. But first they have to prove it works.
Wind turbines keep getting bigger: Each blade can be longer than a football field, and one offshore turbine recently installed in China is as tall as a 50-story building. Making the base to hold ...
The first, full-sized floating offshore wind turbine in the United States will tower 850 feet above the waves in the Gulf of Maine – roughly as tall as New York City’s famed 30 Rockefeller ...
The massive offshore wind turbine blade that broke near Nantucket was one of several recent failures of blades made by GE Vernova – a top US wind turbine manufacturer.
A team of researchers at Queen's University Belfast stress-test a bridge made from wind turbine blades on May 24, 2023, in in a quarry in Draperstown, Northern Ireland, U.K.
