Wind Energy: Nordex, The Leader in Turbine Production for Wind Farms, Will Supply AES Brazil with More Than 65 N163/5.X Turbines from the Delta4000 Series

AES Brazil has once again contracted the German multinational Nordex to manufacture and install 55 N163/5.X turbines. After the order of 314 MW for the Cajuína wind farm, totaling 313.5 MW, in June 2021, AES ordered this week an additional 65 N163/5.X turbines with a total volume of 370 MW for the “Cajuína 2” extension phase.

The contract once again includes service for the turbines for an initial period of five years, with several options to extend up to 20 years.

“Cajuína 2” is part of the Cajuína Wind Complex, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the municipality of Lajes. Constant average wind speeds of approximately 9.5 m/s give the site a high capacity factor.

Giant 80-Meter Wind Blade, Manufactured by Aeris Energy for Nordex – One of the Largest Wind Turbine Manufacturers in the World – Sets Sail from the Port of Pecém to Europe

The Pecém port complex in Ceará celebrates the record shipment of a giant 80.1-meter wind blade for the German Nordex — one of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in the world!

The size of the wind blade (or propeller) manufactured by Aeris Energy for Nordex is impressive. The shipment of the first unit of this giant — the largest wind blade ever produced in the Southern Hemisphere – involved a specialized operation. The more than 80 meters in length required the involvement of various professionals, from manufacturing to transportation to the Port of Pecém, in Ceará.

Blade-Less Turbines from Vortex Could Revolutionize Wind Farms and Change the World of Renewable Energy

Vortex Bladeless, a technology startup based in Spain, is developing wind energy turbines that do not require blades (or propellers). One goal is to use these turbines in urban and residential spaces, where the impact of wind farms would be too great. Similar to a “giant straw,” according to its creators, it is designed to change the world of renewable energy.

Blade-less turbines (or propellers) could be the future of wind energy and renewable energy. Vortex Bladeless claims that the turbine poses no danger to bird migration patterns or wildlife, especially if used in urban settings. Additionally, it states that the noise created would be at a frequency practically undetectable by humans.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

Project created by a UFS student defeats European competitors in an engineering award held in Paris and highlights the advancement of Brazilian science with an innovative solution, developed in a public academic environment and recognized by international experts in the technological field.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.

End of heavy manual drilling: three robots take over more than 9,000 holes in the Engelberg tunnel in Germany, working at a height of 7.5 meters and increasing precision in construction carried out with traffic in operation.
