Counter-rotating wind turbines (CRWTs) represent an innovative paradigm in wind energy conversion, employing a dual rotor mechanism in which two coaxial rotors spin in opposite directions. This ...

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has successfully employed 3D printing to create large rotating steam turbine blades for power plants, in collaboration with Siemens ...

Wire arc additive manufacturing allowed this robot arm at ORNL to transform metal wire into a complete steam turbine blade like those used in power plants. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s ...

Optical measurements for small rotating wind turbine blades. Both fully rotating and with rigid body motion removed. In plane x and out of plane z motions captured and identified separately. 1 - Point ...

In April 2022, Hitachi Power Solutions (Ibaraki, Japan) says it is taking a big step forward to commence advanced services, titled “Blade Total Service” that mitigate the risks of wind power ...

Safran Aircraft Engines has opened a turbine blade research centre at its Gennevilliers site near Paris. The manufacturer says that the facility is capable of carrying out "all development work ...

Climate change skeptics have pointed to wind turbines as subsidy-dependent folly for decades. But that scenario is rapidly being blown away. Thanks in part to novel polymer chemistry, turbines are on ...
