As more wind farms spring up across the landscape, questions have arisen about their potential impact on the sleep quality of nearby residents. Do the sounds of wind turbines disrupt our slumber, or are they no different from the constant hum of road traffic? A recent study conducted by Flinders University offers some insights.

Wind turbines operate in a multitude of conditions — from the scorching heat of deserts to icy polar terrains. Each environment poses unique challenges for their bearings. In this article, we explore the hurdles turbine bearings face and highlight the innovative solutions the industry is adopting to counter them.

As the world shifts to more sustainable energy sources, offshore wind farms are emerging as a potential solution to our power needs. One such example is the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm, scheduled to become fully operational by the end of 2024. With an annual power generation capacity of 1.9 TWh, it will provide renewable energy to as many as 475,000 households! So, how is this promising project progressing so far?

An event to redefine the landscape of renewable energy? That remains to be seen. What is certain is that Germany’s wind industry has taken a giant leap forward, as a record-breaking auction win blows fresh life into the sector.

Bearing replacement is inevitable over time, however, there is a more economical and sustainable option — remanufacturing. We have previously explored the concept and its benefits, and in this article, we outline the steps involved in the process.

In an impressive display of the capabilities of green technology, the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, which is currently the largest offshore wind farm under construction in the world, has started supplying electricity to British homes and businesses.
