In this episode of the uptime podcast, we discuss crawling wind turbine blade repair robots and how supercomputers are being used to calculate wind jets offshore to optimize placement of turbines. Lastly, floating wind turbine farms are getting a boost...

We discussed whether the NRG bat deterrent system works for wind turbines - will it really keep bats safe? Also in this episode: GE news, whether new legislation will help bring a wind farm to reality in the Great Lakes,

In this episode we discuss the news of New York State soliciting for 2.5GW of off shore wind power, the UK betting on battery storage, and lightning strikes on trees. Learn more about Weather Guard StrikeTape segmented lightning diverters.

Are wind turbines wearing out faster than the advertised, typical 20-year lifespan? New research says yes, and we discuss what this means for the industry. We also discuss turbine blade engineering and how carbon fiber spar can reduce weight by 20-30% ...

Allen and Dan discuss Japan's plan to add 10GW of power in the next 10 years, new wind turbines in India from Siemens Gamesa Renewable energy, and how marine life may be impacted by offshore wind turbines. In segment two,

Are segmented turbine towers the future as wind turbines climb higher and higher? Siemens Gamesa named a new CEO recently, and Suzlon has restructured--will the business survive? Some incredible electric storms occurred recently, including a 1.

In this episode we discuss 3D printed wind turbine towers and how this tech can change the efficiency of wind power by allowing much higher tower heights, which will reach much higher wind speeds. We also go in-depth on floating wind farm technology,

Are floating wind turbines--which are capable of producing electricity in deep water where winds are highest--something that we'll see more of in the near future? Right now there is only one floating wind farm in the world, locating in Scotland.

SkySpecs CEO Danny Ellis joined us to talk about the fully automated wind farm, and his vision for using data and autonomous drone inspections to revolutionize operations and maintenance in the wind energy industry. How can Skyspecs' automated,

Allen and Dan discuss the massive new 15MW Siemens Gamesa 14-222 DD wind turbine, the pros and cons of direct drive vs gear drives in nacelles, and lightning strike deaths in India. Learn more abou
