Investigations are underway at the 923 megawatt (MW) MacIntyre wind farm in south-western Queensland, following a turbine blade break at the huge project in late December. The incident at what is ...

Turbine blades must meet strict mechanical properties such as high rigidity and resistance to torsion and fatigue. In addition to these mechanical properties, the finished product must offer excellent ...

In this paper, a method for the determination of the aerodynamic performance characteristics using NACA airfoils is given for three bladed horizontal axis wind turbine. Blade geometry is obtained from ...

A second Siemens Gamesa 5.X blade in a matter of months has broken off a turbine at a Swedish onshore wind farm, resulting in 51 further turbines being shut down at the site. The blade on the SG ...
