Biome Feather Pilot at Nergica
Nergica installed Biome Renewables’ FeatherEdge® technology on one of its wind turbines located at its research site. Inspired by the owl's silent flight, this technology makes the movement of wind turbine blades quieter[...]
Green revolution: How recycling wind turbine blades is transforming...
FibeCycle, working together with Nergica, has recently undertaken a detailed study on the carbon footprint of wind turbine blades throughout their life cycle. The partnership highlights the positive impact of recycling c[...]
Optimal control of a wind turbine with de-icing system through ice...
The Saint-Philémon Wind Farm (STP) in Quebec and the Glen Dhu Wind Energy LP (GDWE) in Nova Scotia are two wind farms operated by Capstone Ltd. that are suffering significant energy losses due to ice accretion on their[...]
Supporting Nunavik’s Energy Transition
Tarquti has an ambitious vision for the energy transition in Nunavik and is committed to the deployment of green energy in several villages. Nergica supports Nunavik's transition.[...]
