Engineering issues with vertical-axis wind turbines; Due to their slower rotation speed, Vertical axis wind turbines are less noisy than horizontal axis wind turbines and achieve greater wind energy density, meaning they need less space for the same output both on- and off-shore. The blades are also more wildlife-friendly because they rotate laterally rather than slicing down from above, making them easier for birds to avoid. With these advantages, why are vertical-axis wind turbines largely absent from today’s wind energy market? #renewableenergy #Environment

When we talk about wind propulsion, we refer to direct wind energy used for propulsion which is a pure zero emissions energy source, abundant around the world globally and available today. It can be delivered directly to the ship at the point of use without the need to mine it, refine it, transport it, bunker it, or store it on board. In essence, it is very different energy source with zero cost among other benefits.

Discovering New Horizons in Wind Energy Efficiency! In the dynamic field of wind energy, the quest for optimizing power production never ceases. Our esteemed faculty, Mario A. Rotea and Stefano Leonardi, are at the forefront of groundbreaking research that sheds light on the intricate dance between wind flow and wind turbines. Their latest study dives into the world of wake steering—a technique that has shown promise in enhancing the power output of turbine arrays. However, it introduces the challenge of the blockage effect, where the wind farm acts as a porous obstacle, altering the wind's speed and direction, and in turn, affecting turbine efficiency. The research meticulously analyzes how this blockage effect, coupled with intentional yaw misalignment (a method to steer the wind wake), influences the loads on turbines within a 4x4 array. The findings are eye-opening, especially under conditions of low turbulence intensity, revealing a significant impact on the downstream turbines' durability. With Mario A. Rotea and Stefano Leonardi leading the charge, this study not only contributes valuable insights into optimizing wind farm design but also highlights the delicate balance between power production and turbine longevity. We couldn't be prouder of their contributions to advancing renewable energy technologies. Their work not only pushes the boundaries of what's possible in wind energy efficiency but also paves the way for more sustainable and resilient wind farms. Join us in celebrating the achievements of Mario A. Rotea and Stefano Leonardi! Dive into their full study to unravel the complexities of wake steering and its implications on wind farm performance. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together, exploring innovative solutions for a greener future. #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #UTDallas

As we approach the winter season, the wind energy industry faces unique challenges, particularly in cold climates where icing on wind turbine blades can result in significant power losses, impacting overall efficiency. At Wolfram Chemie, we're dedicated to addressing these challenges through innovative approaches. Regarding this issue, a recent article published in Cold Regions Science and Technology, named "Atmospheric Icing Impact on Wind Turbine Production," highlights the critical impact of icing on wind turbine efficiency, emphasizing the need for solutions to mitigate these challenges. The article searches for solutions that can minimize the impact and continue productivity even in colder times. The results obtained reveal that a sensor that triggers the ice-protection system could be set up upon detection of critical freezing fraction. To access the full article, check the link below: https://lnkd.in/dMunwvCc As the industry explores new technologies, Wolfram Chemie stands open to new technologies and techniques that can enhance wind turbine efficiency.

We’re kicking things off with our first post, which tackles the topic of #wakeeffects. Based on a research paper published in the Wind Energy Science journal, this blog unpacks how wake effects impact multi-gigawatt wind farms, shaping energy production and losses. In case you missed it, the study explores several hypothetical scenarios, each featuring variations in turbine type, installed capacity density, and layout for 4 GW offshore wind farms - ☝️ with one scenario tailored to the unique context of the IJmuiden Ver wind farm zone. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eZSxTG_v Here are some takeaways you might find interesting: 1️⃣ Turbine size matters: Larger turbines prove more efficient than deploying a larger number of smaller ones to achieve the same installed capacity 2️⃣ Turbine engineering matters: Subtle design variations can lead to significant differences (5 – 10%) in energy production. 3️⃣ Wind speed matters: 80% of aerodynamic losses occur within a narrow wind speed range, emphasizing the importance of optimization.
