In wind energy projects, obtaining precise and reliable wind resource data is crucial, yet the available data often remains limited in both time and space. To extend this data into the long term, integrating real-world measurements with model results becomes essential. This study demonstrates the process of improving modelled turbulence using observational data and calibrating high-resolution ...
The maintenance of wind turbines, and whole wind farms, is a challenge. Normally wind turbines are designed to operate for 20 years. ...
Hywind Tampen, the world's first floating wind farm to supply oil and gas facilities, is set to spur cost reductions across the floating wind sector. ...
Self-diagnosing turbines, real-time output maximization and “crane less” maintenance will soon impact wind operations, cutting labour costs and increasing generation revenue, Denver Bane, Onshore Wind Services Strategy Leader at GE Renewable Energy, told the Wind Operations Dallas 2019 conference. ...
Objective: SKILLWIND was the result of the desire of several European countries to create a standardised training programme for the wind energy sector, with the aim of standardising training content and thus facilitating the mobility of workers between different countries. The result of the SKILLWIND project was an interactive game or 'serious game' for smartphones that ...
Objective: SIMULWIND came into being as a result of the training needs of new professionals in the wind energy sector to face the challenges posed by the digitalisation of wind farms in industry 4.0. The scope of the project consists of the development of a computer simulator designed for training in maintenance and risk ...
Since they are integral parts of cell phones, hard drives, hybrid cars, wind turbines and other products with skyrocketing demand, rare earth metals face soaring demand, too. ...

This can provide a huge influx of job opportunities in the short run since the implementation of wind turbines require a lot of manpower. Moreover, the maintenance of these wind farms can give life to a considerable amount of sustainable jobs. Monitoring the wind farms, maintaining the machines ...
Such methodology is applied here to estimate the consumption of fossil fuels (referred to as 'oil'), required for the construction, operation and maintenance of a wind farm consisting of 97 turbines of 3 MW each. Results show that such consumption represents a conservative 8–9% of the total energy generated by the farm in 20 ...
Maintenance of wind farms is of increasing importance. Especially in remote areas, where logistics and accessibility are restricted, costs of preventive as well as corrective maintenance form a substantial part of the costs of electricity. The importance of a tool that assists in feedback to the design, failure logging, ...
