FEATURES
Company Profile:Carolina Gear & Components Ltd.
In order to manufacture the large, dependable gears required by the wind-energy market, experience is a must. That’s something this company has in abundance.
Tribological Challenges to the System
As wind turbines increase in size, and their operating conditions become more extreme, a number of current and future tribological challenges exist.
With the global expansion of the wind industry, the placement of towers and farms will grow more remote. Vestas is clearly up to the challenge.
A Direct Drive to Sustainable Wind Energy
The success—or failure—of producing the most cost-effective turbines will have a direct impact on the future shape of the wind industry. Here’s an overview.
New Systems for Sleeker Turbine Production
A new blade fabrication system from MAG doubles output, while multi-tasking machine tools complete parts in single setup, streamlining your production process.
Optical Ice Sensors for Wind Turbine Nacelles
New optical technology borrowed from the communications industry promises lower cost, more practical ice detectors than earlier techniques.
An Automated Approach to Blade Manufacturing
Increased throughput, quality, and efficiency are just a few of the benefits to be realized when taking a robotic approach to manufacturing blades for wind turbines.
DEPARTMENTS
When conducting site remediation, jet grouting is one technique to consider for improving poor soils without removing the existing structure.
Pre-end of warranty inspections assess the service history of a project, vet out troubled turbines, and provide owners with an expectation for post-warranty costs.
As designs progress and new technologies emerge, the authors present a value proposition for robust, reliable, cost-effective sensors.
Leave nothing to chance by utilizing standardized processes that can help reduce or eliminate the gaps in your supply chain.
