Recharge reported yesterday how images and videos appeared from multiple Chinese sources, including specialist wind power accounts, of blades falling from a turbine as it still spun. Other videos and
Two of its 143-meter blades broke off in December. Despite being designed to withstand typhoons, the turbine''s blades failed under "extreme, abnormal conditions."
The world''s most powerful wind turbine, a 20MW giant manufactured by Mingyang, has reportedly suffered multiple blade breaks just months after the prototype machine was installed in China.
Giant wind turbines keep mysteriously falling over, which shouldn''t be happening. Production issues may be to blame for the increase in failures.
Mingyang Smart Energy issued a statement on 13 December, following reports that two blades broke off of the company''s 20 MW offshore wind turbine prototype in Hainan, China.
A review of the root causes and mechanisms of damage and failure to wind turbine blades is presented in this paper. In particular, the mechanisms of leading edge erosion, adhesive joint degradation, trailing edge failure,

In December of 2023 all three blades were torn off a turbine in Ayrshire, Scotland during a storm. The Daily Mail described it as “the blades suddenly (coming) loose and flung across a seemingly deserted
Installed in China''s coastal region of Hainan, the 20MW giant offshore wind turbine suffered blade breaks.
The MySE18.X-20MW offshore wind turbine which was being touted as the largest single-capacity turbine of the world has pretty recently suffered significant blade breaks shortly after its installation
