Kawasaki and BladeRobots, a Vestas company, are using a crewless helicopter and a blade maintenance robot to automate one of the most challenging jobs in wind power: turbine blade maintenance.

In the past, when designing the profile of rotor blades, the layout of wind turbines in a farm, or the day-to-day operation of wind turbines, engineers have relied on ad hoc adjustments added to the ...

One such initiative is the Jeonnam Offshore Wind Power Project, a 96-megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm located in the Yellow Sea, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. It consists of ten turbines, each with a ...

For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...
