Happy New year – and a very windy welcome to 2025! 🎆🌬️ Perfect for wind energy you would think. Yes – and no⁉️ Too much wind might actually mean you have to brake or even stop the turbine to avoid damage to its structure - or risk runaways😱 Hydraulic control systems perform important tasks in the operation of wind turbines, both onshore and offshore, and make an important contribution to increasing turbine availability with intelligent and durable system solutions in all weather conditions: 💪 Reduce speed in very high winds, enabling the turbine to continue its power production at reduced speed rather than bringing it to a complete stop. 💪 Dampen structural vibrations and resonance at power peaks/loads thereby reducing the wear on eg. bearings. 💪 Mechanically stored energy for emergency shut down. At HAWE Energy Solutions A/S we have been developing hydraulic pitch systems for wind turbines for 30 years, and these many years of experience goes hand in hand with our spare parts and retrofit solutions for the Aftermarket🤝 Our knowledge and experience from designing systems strengthens our Aftermarket – and our experience and learnings from the Aftermarket strengthens our design of new systems🔗⚙ Whether new or old, the objective is the same: To make the most out of wind power✔⬆📈 #HAWE #windenergy #hydraulics #aftermarket #operationsandmaintenance

How condors could make wind turbines more efficient

This design has the potential to revolutionise the wind turbine sector. A company called Airloom has designed a new smaller and lower cost wind turbine, with a rollercoaster energy system instead of blades. #greenenergy #electricity #sustainability #turbines

Aurelia Turbines will develop a zero-emission large gas turbine for maritime transport. The European Union has entrusted Aurelia Turbines and other members of the MARPOWER consortium with a significant task: to develop an efficient zero-emissions gas turbine power system for maritime transport. This system, which goes beyond the state-of-the-art in gas turbine technology, will be a highly efficient system endowed with an intercooled recuperative two-shaft gas turbine with a bottoming cycle. The modularity and versatility of the system are unique functions that provide competitive benefits. It is designed for flexible use of neutral (green methane, green methanol) and zero-emissions (hydrogen, ammonia) fuels, and it can reach up to 50-55% electrical efficiency and 73-76% overall electrical+thermal efficiency. In this sense, it can be operated to optimise the electrical power generation on-board a ship, but also to be operated in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) mode, both modes will be assessed through two case studies. MARPOWER will optimise the design of the turbomachinery components, which are essential and specifically conceived for using zero-emission fuels. Accordingly, it will develop a new fuel-flexible combustion concept in which the combustor can run on 100% hydrogen or other neutral or zero-emission fuels without any additional changes to the combustion system. The integration of Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB) technology for controlling long high-speed shafts will additionally foster high efficiencies. The impacts generated from MARPOWER are significant, as they will allow the creation of a value chain for the construction and deployment of the energy conversion system in different types of ships worldwide. This will lead to substantial economic, social, and environmental benefits, boosting European leadership in the maritime sector. The project can contribute significantly to the decarbonisation of the maritime sector, avoiding the emission of more than 2.3 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. For Aurelia Turbines, Marpower is the 3rd successful award by the EU.

Wind energy is confirmed as one of the most promising technologies in combating climate change and building a sustainable future. According to the Global Wind Report 2024, during 2023 onshore installations reached record levels with over 100 GW, while offshore recorded the second best performance ever with 11 GW. Having passed the symbolic milestone of 1TW of installed power globally, it is expected to reach 2 TW by 2030. Behind this progress are innovative technologies and key components, such as hydraulic systems, that are essential to ensure the safe and efficient operation of wind turbines. With our UFI Hydraulics division, we manufacture high-precision filtration systems to support the complex mechanisms of wind turbines, contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of the industry. #weareUFI #chosenbythebest #ufifilters

It's not only our well experienced European and American wind turbine manufacturers that seem to struggle with handling the enormous loads on the giant rotor diameters of today. I think it's time for some serious "thinking out of the box. I wonder when we will see the first cable stayed rotors entering the scene? I don't think future investors for wind project feel them self safe, and what about insurance companies behind the future projects? 🤔🤔 #engineering #windturbines #windturbineblades #operationandmaintenance
