Wind power deployment is growing rapidly across the world, aided by the climate action commitments and energy mix diversification strategies of various countries. Two types of wind turbines are the primary focus of innovation efforts […]
Wind turbines are powerful structures with the capability to convert strong winds into electricity, to power households and industries. Although the structure of a turbine may look simple from the outside, it houses a powerful […]
The drivetrain is often called the “powerhouse” of a wind turbine as it contains a generator and a gearbox. These appliances convert the torque generated from the rotation of the wind turbine blades into electricity. […]
The increasing penetration of renewables, particularly wind and solar, in the energy mix, and the decommissioning of fossil fuel power plants are together bringing about changes in the structure of electricity networks. With greater capacities […]
As the demand for wind power has been growing consistently over the years, efforts have been made to accelerate technological developments to keep pace with this growth. Wind turbine power capacities have increased by a […]
Drivetrains are an essential part of a wind turbine set-up. They convert the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. These drives comprise smaller components such as bedding, gearboxes, brakes and generators. Gearboxes and generators […]
The drivetrain is one of the most important components of a wind turbine. It is often called the “powerhouse” of a wind turbine – an apt name as it contains a generator and a gearbox, […]
India is gearing up to achieve the 60 GW of wind energy target by 2022. To this end, market forces are realigning constantly to arrive at the best possible permutation of low capital costs and […]
The wind energy segment is undergoing a technological transformation globally, with increasing efficiencies and rising hub heights. All the major components of wind turbines are witnessing significant changes. A key component in wind turbines is […]
