From modest beginnings in the 1990s, where wind turbines produced a mere 0.5 MW of power, today’s turbines are capable of generating over 10 MW. Despite these advancements, the voltage output of wind turbines remained at 33 kV for many years. However, a significant shift occurred in 2017 when an offshore ...
Key Facts A-Series A60 Product 130 Production (kg H2/day) 28 Outlet pressure (bar) Denmark Project location A pioneering wind-to-hydrogen project As part of a pioneering wind-to-hydrogen project, Green Hydrogen Systems’ electrolyser was connected to a Siemens Gamesa 3 MW wind turbine near Brande, Denmark. In ...
The maintenance of wind turbines, and whole wind farms, is a challenge. Normally wind turbines are designed to operate for 20 years. ...
The first wind turbine as we know it was created in 1888. Named the Brush turbine, an automatic wind turbine, it measured 17 m in diameter and had 144 wooden blades that moved slowly. ...
European lifetime extension (LTE) activity is set to hike in the coming years as feed-in tariffs expire and wind operators seek to maximize revenues from ageing assets. Around 4 GW/year of European wind turbine capacity could be ripe for LTE in the period 2019-2028, Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables said in a report published ...
Wind turbine suppliers are investing in supply chain solutions and combining new technologies with data advantages to win service contracts for third-party turbines, leading suppliers told the Wind Operations Dallas 2019 conference. As intense price competition squeezes margins, turbine ...

Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. ...
In this collaborative activity Partners will undertake research and develop economically viable, reliable small wind turbines for remote power systems located away from the electricity grid as well as for connection into the grid. This project will study small wind turbine operation in a wide range of situations, ...
Maintenance of wind farms is of increasing importance. Especially in remote areas, where logistics and accessibility are restricted, costs of preventive as well as corrective maintenance form a substantial part of the costs of electricity. ...
