EP52 – World’s Tallest Turbine; SG B108 Blades; Digisec Bird Deterrent System & More

March 17, 2021

Germany built the world's tallest wind turbine, which features a unique design--a combination of water tower and turbine. We dive into the Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy B108 blades, which are the largest ever produced, and discuss some of the technology involved in protecting the leading edges and blade tips from lightning. Also on the docket are vertical axis wind turbines being installed on the O2 arena in London, and a review of global wind power commissions from 2020. Watch this episode on YouTube here.
