The utility will provide several wind farms in Iowa with the 2.3 MW turbines. After commissioning in January 2012, the farms with a total capacity of 593 MW will produce sufficient energy to supply about 190,000 households. “Our largest onshore order to date from the U.S. demonstrates that we are well on track to becoming one of the three leading suppliers of wind turbines by 2012”, says René Umlauft, CEO of the Siemens Renwable Energy Division.

Sometimes one and one add up to more than the mere addition of numbers. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of rotor blades is a complex and demanding task that requires very good hardware as well as professional data analysis in order to be able to make really precise and early statements about structural damage to the rotor blade. For this reason, two specialists have now joined forces to offer wind farm operators the best possible combination of forces on the market.
