We share the results of turbine blade geometry reconstructions from 3D point clouds using a knowledge-based approach. With necessary adjustments the described method can be generalized for
Wind power is looking up — to the clouds

Placing wind turbines high in the sky could let them harvest power from the faster, more reliable winds found at altitude.
Wind Turbine Blade Damage due to hail impact and lighting strike

Ice accretion on the wind turbine blades produces significant change in the geometry of each blade''s surface, affecting its aerodynamic efficiency. As a result, the blade lift reduces while the drag
Wind Turbine Blade Finishing Automation: Robotic Toolpath

One way to simulate the toolpath is with an offline robotics simulator like RoboDK. The toolpath just defines the 6-degree-of-freedom position of the leading edge, which requires the robot end effector to
High-Flying Wind Power: the Airship That Doubles as a Turbine

Discover how airborne wind turbines, floating high above ground, are redefining renewable energy. Learn about the future of high-altitude wind power.
This flying wind turbine can pull power from high in the sky

Now a company in China is exploring a new form factor: flying wind turbines. These zeppelin-like aircraft float high in the sky, tethered to the ground only by cables as they generate a
Wind Energy Components Series Part 1: Turbine Blades Explained

Wind turbine blades are the aerodynamic structures that extract kinetic energy from moving air. Designed with airfoil shapes, they generate lift, which rotates the hub and drive train.
How Do Wind Turbines Work?

A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air
Wind Turbine Blade Design Innovations Explained

Explore key innovations in wind turbine blade design, from materials to smart tech, for beginners and engineers advancing renewable energy solutions.
Wind Turbines Churn the Air over the North Sea

These turbulent wakes can affect power output and cause damage at downwind turbines. Normally, the wakes are invisible to the naked eye, but in the photograph above, they have churned
