MDWind’s Post

On behalf of co-authors Ahmad Shaaban, and Alessandro Marini, I am excited to share our latest research publication: 'Enhancing Power Output of Ducted Wind Turbines through Flow Control', presented recently at the Torque 2024 conference in Florence. Link: https://lnkd.in/d42bTH-w Our study focuses on enhancing the performance of ducted wind turbines using passive flow control devices. Key findings include a power output increase of up to 127%, thanks to strategic airflow manipulation. This advancement promises significant improvements in wind turbine efficiency, particularly in low wind conditions. We are excited about the potential of this research to revolutionize wind energy, especially in regions with low wind speeds! #WindTurbines #ductedTurbines #FlowControl #TORQUE2024 #RenewableEnergy

Being in charge of the analysis on potential international markets for Caeli Wind GmbH, I come across quite a few new insights almost every day. From time to time, I intend to share some of the most stunning findings – at least they were for me, maybe not for you 😊 To begin with, I found it quite interesting that – as you can see from the map – in nine federal states of the US by 2022 there was not even one single operating wind turbine (all shown in red). These are certainly not the states with the best wind conditions but compared to other countries in the world some of them like Arkansas and Kentucky appear quite competitive – but still no power generation from wind at all?

🚀 Come and listen to Eva Fraicher and me at Spinergie's webinar on the internationalization of the offshore wind energy supply chain and particularly the arrival of Asian players on the European market!

🌟 Must-Attend Event: NOWRDC 2024 Symposium 🌟 👏 Join us at the National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium Symposium, an event that combines the most desirable aspects of a conference experience. With a mid-size format, it’s the perfect opportunity to engage with offshore wind innovation and R&D professionals while still being able to have meaningful conversations. Chances are, you’ll know someone who can introduce you to that new contact you’re looking to meet! Here’s what to expect: 🤝 Day 1: Dive into discussions on policy, processes, and collaborations with federal, state, industry, and international stakeholders—all focused on advancing R&D in offshore wind. 🤓 Day 2: Get technical! Connect with researchers and innovators at in-depth sessions focused on cutting-edge solutions and technologies. 🙋♀️ Plus, the NOWRDC team, Lyndie Hice-Dunton, Christine Sloan, Julian Fraize, Melanie Schultz, Kori Groenveld, Skylah Reis, and I will be on-site, ready to share their technical and management expertise. I cannot emphasize enough how much value each of my colleagues brings to the table —they are the driving force behind a program that excels at bringing stakeholders together and funding impactful R&D and innovation in offshore wind. 📅 Registration is open! Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of the conversation. See below for details. #OffshoreWind #R&D #Innovation #Collaboration #NOWRDC #Symposium #RenewableEnergy

Switching to dry-mounted wave radars: Why and when? 🌊To help companies make that decision, our OW-experts Lars Ivar Leivestad and Richard Chen, answer commonly held questions, and explain why wave radars streamline operations and improve safety offshore. Dry-mounted wave radars can have a significant impact on the offshore wind industry. From improving safety and reliability to optimizing maintenance and streamlining operations, the advantages of this technology are set to revolutionize the sector. Miros delves into the complexities of this transition and examines the potential implications for the future of offshore wind operations. #KnowYourWaves #SeaStateAsAService Stay informed and explore the educational insights on the benefits of dry-mounted wave radars in wind energy. https://hubs.ly/Q02rWMl90 #WindEnergyInnovation #MirosWaveRadar #OffshoreWind #OperationalEfficiency #FutureOfWindEnergy PES Wind

Until 2028, there exists a massive demand for 12MW+ offshore turbine specific nacelle and blades. Additional capacities of 2 GW are required for nacelle assemblies and 5-6 GW for large offshore blades, to meet the global supply deficits. There exists ample supply for offshore wind towers until 2028, hence no major opportunity for manufacturers to invest in facilities.

Overview of New Technologies in Wind Energy: Floating Wind Farms, Airborne Wind Turbines New wind energy technologies are transforming the industry. 🌬️ Floating wind farms harness energy in deeper waters, while airborne wind turbines capture stronger high-altitude winds. These innovations promise increased efficiency and broader deployment opportunities. 🌊 #windenergy #floatingwindfarms #airbornewindturbines #renewableenergy
