Norway tests world''s first upside-down wind turbine — a bold design
Developed by the Norwegian startup World Wide Wind, this 30-kilowatt floating prototype flips the traditional design upside down. Instead of blades perched high on a tower, it''s anchored from below
Numerical study of a concept for major repair and replacement of
Repair and replacement of offshore wind turbine blades are necessary for current and future offshore wind turbines. To date, repair activities are often conducted using huge jack-up crane vessels and by
