Split wind turbine blade design is something that isn't going away due to transportation logistics - but will it really work? Can split blades hold up? We also discuss carbon nanotube technology and how its RF-absorbing properties can reduce interferen...

In this episode we discuss ducted wind turbines, which have a ring around the blade circumference, wind turbine fire severity and suppression systems, lightning strike density and how deaths are on the decline despite a higher population,

In this episode we discussed wind turbine yaw misalignment and its common causes and solutions. We also talked through a recent turbine technician death, and what this tragedy means for the wind industry. Lastly,

DNV GL engineers and wind energy consultants Alex Byrne and Matt Malkin came on the Uptime podcast to talk about wind turbine lightning damage, force majeure, assessments, data & more. With decades of industry experience,

Is using wind turbine blade copper caps for lightning protection a sound engineering strategy? Will they solve Vestas' lightning damage problems? Plus, we discuss Liftwerx cranes and how they can make gearbox and blade swaps a much faster,

Polytech acquires Fos4x - what does this mean for the company? We discuss a broken wind turbine blade in Ohio that smells fishy, and chat a bit about the often overlooked small wind turbine market - can farms and small businesses actually sustain thems...

In this episode we discuss research that showed a 70% decrease in bird deaths when just one wind turbine blade was painted black—is this a real effect or do we need to do more studies? We also go in-depth discussing vortex generators for wind turbine e...

In this episode we discuss the effectiveness of trailing edge serrations, (branded as Dino Tails by Siemens Gamesa), and how they also change the lightning strike profile of turbine blades. Watch the YouTube version here.

The University of Maine has secured two investors for a single 12MW wind turbine that will float 14 miles offshore at a price tag of...$100 million dollars? Why is this price tag so insanely high? Plus, Allen and Dan discuss the potential defects that ...

Vestas had a rough quarter, reporting 175MM in losses from warranty claims due to high-intensity lightning strikes. It's not clear what this means, but Allen and Dan dig in. Plus, more wind turbine customers are choosing to bring operations and mainten...
