The American wind industry has stayed resilient through a difficult year, with a positive outlook for development in the years ahead. However, in order to continue to grow and thrive throughout this ...

Most wind turbines fall into one of two general categories: horizontal axis and vertical axis. Each can be further divided into small and large wind turbines. The technology for traditional horizontal ...

Back in 2017, GTM Research published a report on the state of the U.S. energy storage market through 2016. The study projects that by 2021 deployments of stored energy — a combination of residential, ...

The U.S. wind market installed 593 MW in Q2 2025, down 60% compared to Q2 2024. But installations through the first nine months of 2025 are projected to outpace 2024, reaching a total of 3.8 GW, ...

It can be tough to predict, and even tougher to manage. But wind-farm operators are finding success navigating around Mother Nature in cold climates. After experiencing significant wind-farm downtime ...

Government organizations around the globe are increasingly implementing policies and programs aimed at increasing the number of wind turbines and the amount of power generated from wind energy. To ...

The global shift to renewable energy and expanded use of wind power has significantly increased the number of wind turbines, both onshore and offshore. The demand for wind turbine maintenance is also ...

Although relatively new to the wind industry, digital twins are generating significant buzz. The technology, which involves creating a digital copy — or “twin” — of physical assets, processes, systems ...

Several years of monitoring drive train loads on a range of turbines show how frequently occurring wind events and those common to normal operations abuse drive trains and shorten gearbox life. Wind ...

Filters and breathers on wind-turbine gearboxes must work under conditions found in no other industrial setting. Gearbox oil, for instance, undergoes large viscosity changes due to a wide temperature ...

Extreme weather, unpredictable heavy loads, remote locations and designs for higher output are just a few of the operational challenges affecting wind turbines that can lead to unexpected bearing ...

In 2022, U.S. state governments increased their collective procurements of offshore wind power to over 8,100 MW. While these collective procurement targets have the potential to transform electricity ...
