Painting one wind turbine blade black cut bird deaths by 70%, and now Wyoming is testing it
The goal is to make the spinning turbine stand out more clearly to birds.
WindTronics is one of many wind companies trying to crack into the clean energy industry. Can it make wind power affordable and revitalize manufacturing at the same time? Martin LaMonica is a senior ...
Mechanical Dynamics and Analysis (MD&A) was contracted after a forced outage to perform a major overhaul on a cogeneration unit’s MS5001PA gas turbine, and to remove, test and inspect the generator ...
Siemens this month delivered the first HL-class gas turbine to a Duke Energy power plant in North Carolina. Workers lifted the 500-ton SGT6-9000HL onto its foundation at the Lincoln Combustion Turbine ...
When comparing the efficiency of different wind turbine blade designs, [AdamEnt] found using a hair dryer wasn’t the best tool for the job. Enter his new 3D-printed wind tunnel. After several ...
A new system using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of embedded-control software releases keeps turbines up on the farm For its wind turbine control systems, Siemens’ engineers faced the challenge ...
A wildly innovative turbine that could halve the cost of offshore wind is set to go into testing in Norway. The 19-m (62-ft), 30-kW, contra-rotating vertical-axis turbine is a prototype of a design ...
An abandoned World War II-era warehouse in an impoverished part of South Carolina is now a $110 million engineering facility -- and the proving grounds for the next generation of wind turbines, ...
The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator. The devil here is, of course, in all the ...
Blocked passages for fish and turbine-induced mortality of downstream migrating fish are major environmental issues for hydropower projects. Direct spillage is one method to protect downstream fish ...
