Wind turbine technology leaps set to slice maintenance costs
Self-diagnosing turbines, real-time output maximization and “crane less” maintenance will soon impact wind operations, cutting labour costs and increasing generation revenue, Denver Bane, Onshore Wind Services Strategy Leader at GE Renewable Energy, told the Wind Operations Dallas 2019 conference. Intense competition in the wind market is spurring turbine developers to find new ...

What’s the Future of R&D in the Wind Industry?
When the wind industry finally reacted to the world’s financial crisis—it didn’t fully hit us until 2010—at once, we lost both an incredibly vibrant global wind market and sufficiently robust profit margins. The market recovery is rebounding nicely now, thanks largely to government incentives, but profit margins will probably never fully recover—at least, not to the ...

Power curve measured and verified – Case Study
In 2010 RSE SpA (Energy System Research Inc.) within a Program Agreement with the Italian Ministry of Economic Development started a measurement campaign on a Libellula wind plant installed in Tuscany. The campaign lasted 1 ½ years and during this time RSE measured the turbine’s power curve following the requirements of the relevant IEC Standard ( EN 61400-12-1 – EN 61400-2). ...

Renewable energy progress report
What is the Renewable energy progress report and what is its purpose? The Renewable Energy Directive states that a progress report should be issued every two years. The purpose of this progress report is to assess Member States' progress in the promotion and use of renewable energy in line with the 2020 targets. In addition, it contains sections on thesustainability scheme for biofuels and ...

Can bladeless wind turbines mute opposition?
A more efficient and less intrusive wind turbine design has been welcomed by two of the UK industry’s biggest critics and government regulators. A new bladeless wind turbine that promises to be more efficient, less visually intrusive, and safer for birdlife than conventional turbines has been welcomed by two of the UK wind energy industry’s most vocal critics. The RSPB and the ...

Monopiles to remain Dominant Offshore Foundation in Europe: Consultant
Monopiles will be Europe’s dominant offshore wind foundation for the next five years despite increasing turbine capacity, Tim Fischer, Head of Wind at German consultancy Ramboll, said. Monopile projects have dominated the offshore wind market but windfarms are moving towards larger turbines requiring larger foundations. While many proponents are promoting the value of jacket foundations ...

GE, Harbin form joint venture to market wind turbines in China
GE Energy (Atlanta, GA) announced that it has formed a joint venture with China’s Harbin Electric Machinery (HEC) to produce GE-designed wind turbines for sale in the Chinese wind energy market. Anticipating a six-fold increase in China’s wind power capacity by 2020, the joint-venture company will produce turbines for both terrestrial facilities and offshore wind farms. GE will hold a ...

Productivity of small wind turbines for various wind potentials conditions: application in Bulgaria and Corsica
Less or more accurate power curve models are generally used to simulate the wind turbine electrical production versus the available wind speed. However, if such models are adapted to large machines, this is not the case for small ones. The objective of this paper is to study the impact of different small-scale wind turbines power curves and wind distributions on the electrical production. An ...

Climate change drives wind turbines in China: case study of market based wind power development
This paper aims at quantifying the impact of government policy and clean development mechanism (CDM) on wind power development in China. Firstly we review the background of Chinese wind power development and policy, as well as literature of climate change and CDM. We then present methodology, scenarios and data of a case study for the development of a large-scale grid-connected wind farm. We ...
