The turbines have a huge visual impact, particularly as wind farms are built on top of hills to capture the most wind Additional concerns are that they can impact birds and bats, and they can also produce some noise, disturbing local residents What are the pros and cons of offshore wind?
This article outlines some of the advantages and disadvantages of wind turbines linear identification, in case of minimal number of measuring channels. The identified turbine has horizontal axis and belongs to middle size class. Multi-variable models of linear type (Box-Jenkins (BJ)/ARMAX, state ...
Wind power and domestic wind turbines With an estimated 40% of Europe's wind blowing over the UK, we're in a prime position to take advantage of wind power — but could you install a wind turbine on your domestic property? Written by Ben Gallizzi, Senior Content Editor - Energy and Elec...

according to Peter Henderson of Pisces Conservation, UK, “about 200,000 bats are annually killed at onshore wind turbines in Germany alone. These numbers are sufficient to produce concern for future populations, as bats are long-lived and reproduce slowly, so cannot quickly replace such losses”...
RWE has deployed more than 1,000 of SKF’s IMx units globally across its fleet of wind turbines. These collect “health” data on moving parts, such as bearing vibration, temperature and other metrics. Data gathering is crucial, but it is only beneficial if it can be analysed properly. ...
Wind turbines (WTs) are mainly classified based on the orientations for the axis of rotation, type of generators, speed of rotation, and the control action used, as depicted in Figure 5. The optimum combination of these elements for a specific WT is usually carried out according to the spec...
New jobs in construction, operation, and manufacture of turbines. Cons High up-front cost (just as for large nuclear or fossil-fueled plants). Economic subsidies needed to make wind energy viable (though other power forms are subsidised too, either economically or because they don't pay the ...
The proposed drivetrain analytical optimization approach supported by numerical simulations shows that application of gearbox in 10‐MW offshore wind turbines can help to reduce weight, raw material cost, and size and simultaneously improve the efficiency. The possibility of resonance with the first ...
“Our decades of experience in modeling coating processes really helped us out. We were able to draw on this expertise,” says the physicist. “However, we did have to adapt the process parameters to the complex geometry of the wind turbines.” ...
