Engineering Wind Turbine Support Structures

Solar wind turbine self-operated

Solar wind turbine self-operated

By utilizing the turbine's mechanical motion to provide convective cooling for the solar arrays, the system mirrors a high-performance engine where thermal management and power generation operate in a unified, self-sustaining loop. [PDF Version]

Welding of wind turbine housing

Welding of wind turbine housing

Today, we'll explore the key process behind manufacturing large castings for wind turbine generator housings and explain why we've chosen CO₂ shielded welding (CO₂ welding) to produce these parts. [PDF Version]

Working principle of wind turbine generator

Working principle of wind turbine generator

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. [PDF Version]

How efficient are wind turbine blades

How efficient are wind turbine blades

A perfectly efficient blade would capture all the energy in the wind passing through it, which, sadly isn't possible in the real world. Physics, in the form of Betz's Law, dictates a theoretical maximum efficiency of around 59. [PDF Version]
