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 wind turbine experiences 8.3 failures per year.

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.

China's Sany Renewable Energy claims it has just erected the world's largest onshore wind turbine. The 15-MW prototype features 430-ft-long blades, making for a maximum swept area of 616,298 sq ft.

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 claim: Wind turbine generators typically only last three to four years. Wind turbines, which contributed more than 9% of U.S. electricity in 2021, last roughly 20 to 25 years before they must ...

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. CNN values your feedback 1.
