Wind innovations Part 2 – Three (more) wind technologies you should know about
The transition to carbon-free energy takes many forms. Ground-breaking technologies are emerging to meet the growing demand for renewable energy.
Learning from one another – A new generation of hydrodynamic plain bearings for wind gearboxes
Learning from others and building industrial networks can often trigger groundbreaking innovation. In that vein, SKF and other industry leaders will gather at the Conference for Wind Power Drives (CWD) at the end of March to discuss and share developments and trends regarding wind turbine drivetrains.
Let’s talk innovation, reliability, and change – SKF at the ACP’s Operation, Maintenance and Safety Conference
By now, changes in the renewable energy industry are more than possible scenarios predicted by experts all over the world, they are real. To manage the challenges ahead, companies and stakeholders need to exchange knowledge and establish partnerships – by visiting events like the ACP OMS 2023.
North Sea synergy – Surrounding countries debating over expansion
Europe counts on offshore wind energy, especially from the North Sea, to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal. Some of the bordering countries recently met to discuss the expansion and future development of the sea.
Heading Offshore – The recent boom in the expansion of offshore wind energy
Global offshore wind activity is on the rise. Since 2021 the number of related projects in the pipeline has never been higher. Experts are already speaking of a boom that is being driven primarily by China, the UK, and the USA. But is this development just a flash in the pan or is it here to stay?
(W)Independent – New upswing for wind energy in Germany?
Germany is one of the world's top wind energy players. Nevertheless, the construction of new wind turbines has been stagnating for some time and the global positioning of the German wind industry is faltering. The so-called "Easter Package" is intended to change that.
It’s electrifying! – How wind can lead the EU to net zero
According to a new report from ETIPWind and WindEurope, electricity-driven technology is crucial to the EU reaching net zero. But they also report that being able to provide the electricity at the volume demanded – especially once we move carbon-heavy processes to electric alternatives – can only be met by wind power.
Together towards the energy transition – Cross-border alliances to boost offshore wind
Europewide, there is a growing desire for an energy transition, as many nations increase their onshore and offshore wind energy resources. But why are countries making decisions independently when the EU offers incentives for cross-border collaboration? This article reveals three projects, which show how international teamwork can look.
