Series production soon for “most efficient” 2.4 MW turbine

23.05.12

Which is 8.5-m longer than the anterior to onshore model. In typical IEC-3 locations, the N117 turbine achieves a sphere of over 3,500 full-load hours, exceeding other turbines in this category by 20%. This translates into a perspicacity factor of 40%.

A Tougher and Lighter Wind Turbine Blade Design

23.05.12

A researcher from At all events Western Reserve University has designed a stronger and lighter twist turbine blade design.

First, a little insight into the issue of blade strength:

As superior as fat wind turbines are where cost and performance are concerned, the weight of their blades can agent problems. It is difficult to make such long (more than 200-feet in diameter) blades indefatigable enough to bear their own weight, and especially at high speeds (explanation below).
