What does a week of testing in the MHL's towing tank look like? Check out the two videos linked below to get a highly sped-up look at a five days of testing a 1:50 scale semi-submersible offshore platform in waves. The purpose of the test campaign was to evaluate the ability of a series of Tuned Inerter Dampers (TIDs) to reduce the platform's motions in heave and pitch. These dampers not only reduce motion, thus increasing wind turbine efficiency, but have the potential to capture energy themselves, boosting the platform's overall energy capture capacity. https://lnkd.in/gzhiFjQf https://lnkd.in/gGrkYV4E

Onshore wind is a proven and mature technology with an extensive global supply chain. It has evolved over the past years to maximize the amount of electricity generated per megawatt of installed capacity, unlocking more locations with lower wind speeds. Wind turbines are getting bigger, with higher hub heights and larger rotor diameters. Offshore wind power is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years as turbines are deployed offshore to harness stronger winds. Depending on the location of these wind turbines, HDMANN offered the perfect solution. HDMANN Mesh and Ladder Type Trays have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for using in saline or normal environments. #renewableenergy #cabletray #hdmann

Did you know: The hub height for utility-scale land-based wind turbines has increased 66% since 1998, to approximately 94 meters (308 feet) in 2021, taller than the Statue of Liberty. The average hub height for offshore turbines in the United States is predicted to grow even taller—from 100 meters (330 feet) in 2016 to around 150 meters (500 feet) in 2035. Turbine towers are becoming taller to capture more energy, since winds generally increase as altitudes increase. #WindTurbine #FunFact #RenewableProjects

Thunderstorm season can be challenging for the wind industry. According to a report by Vaisala, lightning damage accounts for 60% of blade losses and almost 20% of operational losses. US Wind asset operators are facing costs of around $100 million every year. An inspection of the LPS and constant monitoring can help mitigate expensive blade damages.
