Improving the aerodynamic efficiency of a Savonius wind turbine through the use of a symmetrical deflector.

NKT Curvature Sensing System (CSS). Floating offshore wind turbines endure continuous movement from strong winds and waves, placing stress on the dynamic cables employed. The combination of wave-induced bending motions and tensile loads leads to repeated stress and strain variations within the internal cable components. Monitoring the actual offshore conditions is essential for ensuring the cable's lifespan. Their Curvature Sensing System (CSS) addresses uncertainties related to cable fatigue life, providing a reliable solution for such dynamic environments.

Test to last…‼️ Wind 💨 turbine blades = subjected to varying loads and stresses during their operational lifetime, including wind, gravity, and turbulence. Fatigue load testing is a critical process that simulates these conditions to ensure the blades can withstand repeated loading and unloading without failing. This testing helps evaluate the blade's endurance and reliability over its expected lifespan. By Windmills Tech #windenergy #test #safety
