A Framework for Wind Turbine Noise Reduction

As wind energy expands globally, noise emissions have become a critical factor for regulatory compliance, public acceptance and operational profitability. This article outlines a high-fidelity, multi-disciplinary framework for predicting and mitigating the two primary types of wind turbine noise: broadband aero-acoustic noise from the blades and tonal vibro-acoustic noise from the drivetrain. We present two integrated simulation workflows that enable engineers to design quieter turbines. The aero-acoustic workflow uses fluid simulation to optimize blade serrations, achieving up to 4 dB of noise reduction in key frequencies. The vibro-acoustic workflow models the entire turbine to trace mechanical vibrations from the gearbox to radiating surfaces, such as the tower, identifying the dominant noise paths. We explain how this holistic approach, supported by secure IP-protected collaboration, helps operators reduce costly power curtailments, accelerate certification and improve community relations.

When Quality Quietly Fails: The Hidden Misalignments Derailing Manufacturing Success

Quality failures in manufacturing rarely erupt from a single catastrophic event. Instead, they emerge from invisible drift — the small, untracked deviations that accumulate across disconnected teams, outdated processes and fragmented systems. These seemingly harmless shifts in supplier updates, design revisions, and production workarounds quietly push products away from their intended specifications until the consequences surface downstream through defects, delays and customer dissatisfaction.

Siloed Teams Are Your Biggest Risk—Here’s How Integrated Collaboration Solves It

Modern manufacturers across the U.S., Europe, and APAC face the same critical challenge: engineering teams are drowning in disconnected tools and outdated data. When mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing groups can’t access a unified source of truth, the result is costly rework, longer development cycles, and delayed product launches. Studies show that organizations lose more than 20% of their development time to miscommunication alone. This blog uncovers the global impact of siloed product development—and explains how a centralized digital thread and integrated collaboration platform can help manufacturers reduce errors, accelerate decisions, and bring high-quality products to market faster, no matter the region.

Virtual Commissioning with DELMIA: Transforming Industrial Automation
