Time to be smart when it comes to bolting
Bolted joint assemblies are a critical part of a wind turbine as they have a direct impact on the structural integrity and the performance of the turbines. Applications can be found in all parts of the turbine such as foundations, tower flanges, nacelle, blades and internal components where the bolted joint must be secured according… Read more »
Game-changing feeder solution integrates proven technology to support alternate T&I model
The first wind turbines were often installed using existing jack-ups, originally built for civil construction or oil and gas service markets. Then the industry invested in a fleet of purpose-built wind turbine installation vessels (WTIV) jack-ups. Now, current trends and developments in the offshore wind industry are shaping the installation fleet of the future. An… Read more »
Challenges in evaluating drone data
Nowadays there is apparently almost no problem that cannot be solved with AI. If cars can even drive completely autonomously, should it not be easy then to find defects and other abnormalities on images from rotor blades of wind-turbines? However, where is the algorithm that detects defects in real time, qualifies them and gives a… Read more »
Reassessing a wind farm’s potential
Abstract: The ever-growing database of offshore wind farm production data provides the opportunity to improve the understanding of wind energy potential at existing and future sites significantly. In principle, the wind turbines provide a dense measurement system of the wind conditions. These need to be distinguished from all other factors that drive production at the… Read more »
