Developing sustainable wind turbine generators
Academics from Teesside University are advancing research in next-generation offshore wind turbine technology through a ground-breaking collaboration. Teesside University has secured Advanced Knowledge Transfer (AKT) funding from Innovate UK to work with Time To ACT plc’s subsidiary green energy company Greenspur Wind Limited, to develop permanent magnet generators (PMG) that do not rely on rare earth materials. Rare earth magnets play a crucial role in clean energy technologies like electric vehicles and offshore wind turbines. However, the increasing demand for these
