The Swiss manufacturer launches Gurit98m, an open-source blade model designed to support the development, design and optimisation of wind turbine blade materials. This initiative also reflects the ...

A new model accurately represents the airflow around rotors, even under extreme conditions. The first comprehensive model of rotor aerodynamics could improve the way turbine blades and wind farms are ...

There are several operational factors and requirements that have guided design and development of composite wind turbine blades over the last 20 years. The most important factors and requirements are ...

We told you how Department of Energy is experimenting with the design of a 100-meter wind-turbine blade to better generate offshore wind power. While researchers there work on their design, Adwen and ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a low-cost carbon fiber that could lower the cost of blades for wind turbines. The fiber begins as widely available raw material used in the ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Two companies are partnering to tackle one of the wind energy ...

When a wind turbine reaches the end of its life after two or three decades, the giant blades attached to it usually end up in a landfill. That’s largely because of the materials that are used. “[The ...

The term “hydroelectric power” often brings to mind immense operations driven by purpose-built infrastructure such as dam systems and large turbines with traditionally metallic, propeller-based ...

The WindSpider design doesn't, since it builds its own little scaffold around the tower, section by section, and mounts the small crane unit directly to that. This means the system works with any old ...
