Leading experts on the effects of icing on wind turbines, existing turbine deicing technologies and new ones in development. Also, how LPS and deicing systems interact.
What do you need to know about robotics in the wind energy industry right now? When we talk to owners about their operations and robotics, we raise three questions.
Wind energy production in the US has grown tremendously in the past two decades and as annual energy production (AEP) has increased, so has
In the first quarter of 2021, Weather Guard commissioned independent wind energy consultants Power Curve to conduct an aerodynamic assessment of StrikeTape in use
Since the second edition of IEC 61400-24: Lightning Protection of Wind Turbines was approved in 2019, is the industry giving the new standards the
Maintenance activities directly affect the productivity and profitability of wind energy operations, regardless of the age, size, or manufacturer of the turbine tower or blades.
In 2020, I was fortunate to speak with a long list of experts and researchers in the wind energy industry – Bjorn Hedges, Plant
Weather Guard Lightning Tech Founder and CEO Allen Hall was recently profiled in Wind Systems Magazine. In the interview, Hall discusses how StrikeTape makes
Wind turbines built with serrated trailing edges are not necessarily new, and as more data about them is available, they are getting more popular
Anything that alters the profile or performance of a blade is a material change that should trigger a re-assessment of lightning protection systems. A detailed look at what to consider before you invest in retrofits.
