There’s a lot to unpack from Anders Røpke and Morten Handberg from Wind Power LAB’s session at the Asia Power Forum! Thank you both for sharing your technical expertise with us. Some crucial points were highlighted: – wind turbines are now reaching heights of 140 metres, causing increased structural fatigue in the blades – turbine certifications have not kept pace with these changes and present a commercial risk for owners and insurers by not taking the complete spectrum of fatigue forces into account – the biggest threats to offshore wind blades are manufacturing defects, lightning strikes, and challenging operational conditions, and – while bigger is better from a LCOE point of view, the operational reality can be extremely costly. #APF2024 #asiapowerforum #powergeneration #offshorewind
Morten Handberg is now on the stage providing the audience with a comprehensive overview of offshore wind lifetime effects on overdrive. The level of detail and knowledge is remarkable. Thank you for your contribution Morten. #APF2024 #asiapowerforum #offshorewindturbines
