Siemens has released pictures of its truly gargantuan B75 wind turbine rotor blades. As you might imagine, the prototype turbines that will use these blades boast some staggering statistics of ...

Researchers at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen have devised a way to monitor stresses on wind turbine rotor blades precisely and in real time. At the heart of their approach is a fiber-optic ...

Siemens Energy recently started testing its 154-meter rotor, the world’s largest for wind turbines. The new rotor will be used for its 6-megawatt wind turbine in Denmark. The SWT-6.0-154 will ...

AMES, Iowa – Hui Hu picked up a 3-D printed model of a typical wind turbine and began ... Tunnel to study the dual-rotor idea. He’s measuring power outputs and wind loads. He’s also using technologies ...

The laser tracks the motion of the rotor blades and remains exactly at the same position on the surface. Operators of wind turbines can measure the oscillatory pattern over the entire structure of ...

When most people think of wind power they think of large-scale wind farms with fields of huge three-bladed horizontal axis turbines ... it up a past the rotor. Image from computational fluid ...

Siemens has developed the world's longest wind turbine rotor blades and is due to install them off the coast of Denmark by autumn 2012. The 75-metre-long rotors will fit in nicely with the local ...

The turbine boasts an 853-foot (260-meter) rotor diameter, a blade tip height of up to 1050 feet (320 meters), and a vast swept area of 53,000 square meters, roughly the size of seven standard ...

BLUMFIELD TWP, MI -- The 160-foot blade of a wind turbine broke from its rotor Monday morning in rural Saginaw County and is now left dangling. Workers were alerted to the break when the wind ...
