Laying the foundation for wind turbines now and in the future
A variety of solutions is currently available for today’s common wind-turbine foundation challenges, with more solutions on the horizon.
In 2000, the average land-based wind turbine had a hub height of 190 feet, a rotor diameter of 173 feet, and produced 900 kW of electricity. Today, those numbers have skyrocketed, with the average land-based wind turbine now standing 55 percent higher at 295 feet, using a rotor diameter more than two times as large […]
Mechanical reliability is essential to renewable-energy performance
As wind and solar capacity increases, it is important to ensure physical systems perform continuously and predictably in constrained environments.
Global renewable power capacity is expected to double by 2030, adding about 4,600 GW of new generation according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) 2025 renewables report. That’s roughly equivalent to the combined power capacity of China, the European Union, and Japan. In many countries, growth between 2025 and 2030 is expected to outpace the […]
