Researchers Improve Wind Farm Efficiency Through “Collaborative Turbines” with Wake Steering Technology |
| published 2021 年 07 月 15 日 9:30 |
In order to minimize the wind turbine’s wake effect and thereby raise the power generating efficiency of wind farms, some scientists have turned their sights towards controlling the angle of upstream turbines, to hopefully transform wind turbines into a mature industry. These scientists invented a system that can intelligently adjust the turbines’ yaw angle and pitch angle such that downstream turbines are not adversely affected by wake effects. ... more

| published 2021 年 05 月 07 日 9:30 |
TECO is rumored to have signed a framework agreement with several domestic and overseas offshore wind power developer and a globally renowned permanent-magnet wind turbine manufacturer for its imminent expansion in the offshore wind power market, and will be producing stator-rotor prototypes for wind turbines. At the same time, TECO will be striving to manufacture the wind turbine prototypes required after 2025 alongside its partners of the agreement. ... more
Field Study Indicates that Frozen Wind Turbine Blades Result in 80% Reduction in Power Generation Volume |
| published 2021 年 03 月 18 日 9:30 |
Are wind turbines afraid of the cold? Will frozen wind turbine blades derive any ramifications? The wind storm that raged Texas last month and resulted in the most severe power outage from the impact inflicted on wind and thermal power plants had prompted the society to ponder on the possible consequences of cold weather on wind turbines and the reasons behind. ... more
Largest US Offshore Wind Farm of 800MW Plans to Adopt the GE 12MW Large Turbine |
| published 2020 年 12 月 23 日 18:30 |
The first commercial offshore wind farm in the US has decided to adopt the 12MW large wind turbine Haliade-X by GE Renewable Energy, where offshore wind turbines measuring at 260m in height can be seen from the offshore area of Massachusetts, which provide 2 days of electricity for one household from merely a single spin. ... more
Raising Visibility of Wind Turbines by Changing Color of a Single Blade Can Reduce Bird Strikes by 70% |
| published 2020 年 09 月 08 日 18:30 |
Scientists working in the field of wind power have been working on ways to reduce incidences of birds and bats killed by wind turbines due to a direct collision or the effect of the extreme difference in air pressure. They have tried mounting a warning device at the center of the turbine or on each blade. The device emits a noise to scare off the approaching birds. They have also redesigned the layout of the wind farm to lower the chance of birds hitting the rotating blades. ... more
