“I created an addendum to Glauert’s problem which determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine by solving for the ideal flow conditions for a turbine in order to maximize its power output”.

This, from U of Portsmouth = interesting — it's not the lame killing the whales nonsense that has no scientific basis (and is in fact counter to current scientific findings):

"...materials used to protect wind turbines from corrosion leach into... surrounding water... could pose risks to ecosystems, seafood safety and human health..."

"The bulk of a #WindTurbine – towers, foundations, and steel-based drivetrain components – is relatively easy to #recycle. However, components like blades, generators, and nacelle covers are tougher to process.

The Biden administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has allocated over $20 million to develop technologies that address these challenges."

Vor 45 Jahren gebaut – die erste Windturbine der Welt läuft noch immer.

1978 schrieben dänische Schüler Geschichte: Sie bauten die weltweit größte #Windturbine ihrer Zeit – als Protest gegen #Kernenergie. Trotz technischer Rückschläge läuft die #Tvindkraft bis heute und inspirierte eine globale #Windkraft-Revolution. Ihre Botschaft bleibt relevant: #ErneuerbareEnergien gehören in die Hände der Bürger. 💡

Warning: boring for most people.

One of our technicians received a little #windturbine branded model from one of the world's largest windturbine manufacturers.

And the tiny thing just had an official safety recall as there's risk of a blade falling off..

As that in itself is a funny situation they're owning it by using the formal Safety Alert system in place to deal with 1:1 scale WTG. It involves a multiple page analysis, explanation and mitigation efforts. Lots of time was spend on this 🙂

Latest follow-up podcast is out! YouTube: youtu.be/2FqmtznDCd8 Audio: share.transistor.fm/s/c3faa713 Matt spoke to Nicolas Orellana, Founder / CEO of O-Innovations, about their O-Wind Turbine. The turbine Nicolas designed can accept wind from any direction, horizontal or vertical, and is meant for chaotic wind in places like urban environments (think tops and sides of buildings!). Do you think this kind of innovation is worth exploring?

Die #Windenergie-Potenzialanalyse für #Mogadischu, #Somalia, ergab, dass die durchschnittliche #Windgeschwindigkeit auf 10 m Höhe bei 4,49 m/s und auf 100 m Höhe bei 6,20 m/s liegt. Mit einer durchschnittlichen #Windenergiedichte von 302,32 W/m² auf 100 m wurde der #VESTAS V172-7,2MW als geeignetste #Windturbine identifiziert. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen das Potenzial für #Windkraftwerke in einer Region, die bisher stark auf #fossileBrennstoffe angewiesen ist.
