  • Crawling Robots and Flying Drones Detect Damaged Wind Blades
    Drones and crawling robots outfitted with special scanners could help wind blades stay in service longer, which could lower the cost of wind energy at a time when blades are getting bigger, pricier, and harder to transport. To that end researchers at DoE's Blade Reliability Collaborative and Sandia
  • How Dexmet Lighting Strike Materials Protect Carbon Fiber Wind Blades
    MicroGrid (R) Materials for Wind Applications
  • Modes Indicate Cracks in Wind Turbine Blades
    On-line surveillance of the structural integrity of wind turbines. is a critical need in this currently fast growing industry. The structural integrity of the turbine blades themselves. is critical to the continued operation of a wind turbine. It is well known that the resonant or modal properties
  • Improving Wind-turbine Performance With PLCs
    Most turbines use mechanical anemometers and wind vanes to measure conditions at a wind farm. Data collected, including the wind speed and direction, is then sent to the turbine controllers, which help optimize the blades for maximum wind generation. However, there is often inherent vulnerability
  • Maintaining Growth in the Wind Power Industry
    Seeing wind turbines is commonplace these days and they are a large part of energy production. A wind turbine harnesses wind power to generate electricity. The most common is a horizontal axis wind turbine application which have three main components. A rotor, which the blades are attached
  • Wind Energy Needs Lightweight Giants
    It looks like you are using an old version of the Microsoft Edge browser. To get the best experience with the Busch website, please update your browser. The huge mill blades of modern wind turbines are assembled and preformed from various materials. Synthetic resin then bonds the sandwich structure
  • Sensor Solutions for the Reliable Inspection of Wind Turbines
    Due to safety and cost reasons, wind turbines require 24/7 monitoring. Lightning, defective rotor blades or tower movements due to localized storms can have serious consequences until the wind turbine finally collapses. Precision sensor technology from Micro-Epsilon is already used during
  • Wind Turbine Manufacturer Implements Clean Air Initiative
    When you think about generating electricity from wind, clean energy comes to mind. However, the wind turbine production process can be a major source of air pollution without the proper controls in place. Manufacturing and painting the blades, towers and nacelles requires composite construction
