AI and Composites: The new paradigm in blade manufacturing and maintenance
Artificial intelligence algorithms are redefining efficiency and quality standards, with concrete applications ranging from material-use optimization to real-time inspection to the development of intelligent curing processes.
The wind-energy industry, a cornerstone of the global energy transition, faces a dual challenge: scaling production to meet growing demand while ensuring maximum efficiency and long-term durability of its assets. At the heart of this challenge are turbine blades — composite structures that are growing increasingly large and complex. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) […]
The next U.S. wind boom isn’t new turbines – it’s the ones already turning
As the U.S. fleet matures and the original OEM service agreements expire, owners are weighing the high capital cost of full repowering against the more nuanced proposition of extending the life of those machines already generating revenue.
Across the American Midwest, turbines that once symbolized a new energy frontier are now simply part of the landscape. Turning above cornfields in Iowa, along ranchland in Texas, and across the high plains of Oklahoma, wind turbines have become steady, familiar, and almost unremarkable. Yet, behind the quiet rotation lies one of the most important […]
