Photoblog: AWEA Windpower 2014, Day Two

By Steven Bushong | May 7, 2014

Artists from Berlin-based KlebeBande created windpower-inspired tape art at the Siemens booth yesterday and today, attracting many admirers. According to Siemens, the tape art helps demonstrate the company’s “strong bond” to American wind power.

AeroTorque’s WindTC torsional control retrofit can extend the life of a gearbox. The torque limiter offers standard forward toque limiting but has a reverse torque limiter that is significantly lower. This mechanical control reduces damaging loading in a drive train.

CoreaRopax displayed this unique turbine design for urban areas. The heart-shaped rotating blades receive maximum wind because they tilt to a 90 degree angle to the wind direction. The blade then returns to 0 degrees, minimizing air resistance.
