Blade durability goes beyond design and must include consistent execution of that design across serial production, under real manufacturing conditions, that can affect the full operational life of a project.

High-profile turbine failures over the past several years have highlighted the importance of blade structural reliability. With original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) continuing to push safety factors lower to save costs and weight, the need for design-for-manufacture (DFM) and robust quality control systems is greater than ever. It is at this intersection between design and manufacture […]

Case study: By blending Adiabat’s modeled wind data with ground-based, quality-controlled wind observations from hundreds of weather stations on the Synoptic Data platform, a methodology was created to leverage quality weather data for post-event wind analysis.

Wind-energy assets are deployed in some of the most meteorologically exposed locations on Earth. When significant wind events strike, such as when a hurricane makes landfall, a derecho crosses the Great Plains, or a powerful nor’easter affects offshore infrastructure, the ability to rapidly determine the locations of biggest impact and how it compares to historical […]
