Understanding Wind Resource Assessment FundamentalsIn South Africa, a site assessment wind turbine begins with understanding the wind itself. The difference between a profitable project and a costly failure often comes down to how well you read the invisible forces...
The Scale of the Wind Turbine Blade Waste ProblemWhy Blades Are Difficult to RecycleBy 2050, the wind industry could face 43 million tonnes of spent blade material. These blades are massive, some stretching over 100 metres, and they are built from fibreglass and...
How Power Is GeneratedAerodynamics of Rotor BladesAt 80 metres per second, a rotor blade tip outruns the wind. That differential generates lift, central to wind turbine energy conversion. The airfoil splits airflow, accelerating one side to create low pressure while...
