Wind turbines are huge windmill-like devices that can harness the power of the wind on a large scale, multiplying its force and converting it into electrical energy that can be transmitted to the grid and distributed to users. Installed at onshore or offshore wind farms, wind turbines are at the heart of wind energy generation: clean and renewable.

Onshore wind energy, a clean and inexhaustible source that has been used for centuries, represents one of our main sustainable bets for the future, but there is still a lot of ignorance about how it works. For this reason, we propose 10 relevant terms to understand how it works and to know in detail each of its parts.
The design, construction, transport and installation of offshore wind farms is a technical challenge, highly refined with experience, and requires a process lasting several years.

El proyecto HOREX –acrónimo de Hormigones Expansivos– nace de Iberdrola de investigar el fenómeno de la expansión química del hormigón, que era casi desconocido, propio del material y que supone un gran desafío para las presas a nivel mundial debido a las dificultades a la hora de controlarlo, ya que puede afectar la funcionalidad para las que fueron diseñadas y construidas las presas no solo durante el mantenimiento de las estructuras sino también en su construcción.
The Iberdrola group continues to make progress in the construction of the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm, the second major site of this technology that the company is developing in the Baltic Sea (Germany). The project has reached a new...
