New “smart blade” technology will make wind turbines even more efficient

The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (Fraunhofer IWES) is testing a new rotor blade that incorporates bend-twist coupling (BTC) technology. Wind turbines equipped with the new blade can get the most out of fluctuating winds, reported an AlphaGalileo article. The German wind energy sector leads its European peers by a good margin. Germany operates more than 28,000 wind turbines, and […]
