AMES, Iowa – Hydraulic equipment in two civil engineering labs recently pushed and pulled at test sections of a new kind of wind turbine tower, simulating the heavy, twisting loads that towers have to ...

Siemens Gamesa applied for two Chinese patents: one for preventing a blade from striking a wind turbine tower and the other ...

The first wind turbine tower manufactured using a spiral welding technique is now in commercial operation. Proponents of the new approach say it could revolutionize onshore wind deployment by offering ...

AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...

Cooling towers play a vital role in industrial processes and power generation by dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere. Their unique hyperbolic geometries are designed not only to maximise heat ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

The first commercial spiral-welded wind turbine tower has begun operation – here’s what it is and why it matters. The spiral-welded wind turbine tower was built by GE Renewable Energy and wind turbine ...

Rystad Energy's analysis reveals that Europe's demand for offshore wind towers will outstrip manufacturing capacity by 2028, with supply able to meet only about 70% of the demand. To prevent this, ...

Offshore wind developments are a critical component of Europe’s energy transition plans, but a supply headache could be on the horizon for the industry before the end of the decade. Rystad Energy’s ...
