Wind turbines are by design engineered to withstand various weather conditions, but as proven in a recent event that took place in the heart of the American Midwest, nature’s most extreme events can still pose significant challenges.

As the global climate continues to change, our energy systems face increasing strain from extreme weather events. A recent study led by Washington State University has shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of these extremes: the potential for wind energy to provide a reliable power source during these critical times.

In the face of global challenges such as climate change and sustainable energy demands, international cooperation emerges as a key element in the development of large-scale renewable energy projects. A prime example of this collaboration is found in the story of the Greater Changhua 1 and 2a wind farms, located off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan.

Imagine a modern wind turbine with blades made of wood, spinning gracefully against the serene backdrop of rolling hills and open skies. This vision is now a reality thanks to Voodin Blade Technology, a company that has just installed its first prototype of 19.3-meter wooden wind turbine blades.

SKF has recently concluded its highly anticipated three-day training on wind turbine bearing technologies in Schweinfurt, Germany. The event brought together a select group of 15 professionals from diverse engineering fields for an in-depth exploration of SKF’s wind turbine bearing solutions.

Chinese state-owned Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC) has recently installed an 18 MW offshore wind turbine, claiming it to be the most powerful in the world. This significant installation took place at a coastal wind power test base in Shantou City, Guangdong Province. Here’s what sets this turbine apart from others.
