Envision Energy Achieves Breakthrough in Two-Blade Wind Turbine Technology with Over 500 Days of Stable Operation

SHANGHAI, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology, has announced a significant breakthrough in wind power innovation: its next-generation two-blade onshore smart turbine prototype has achieved over 500 days of stable operation, with a remarkable availability rate of 99.3%, MTBT of 2,444 hours, and equivalent full-load hours reaching 3,048 hours per year. Field performance confirms that the two-blade turbine is on par with traditional three-blade machines operating at the same site.

This turbine is built on Envision’s Model X onshore platform, featuring a modular design and high-speed DFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator) technology with enhanced stability. Designed for high performance, lightweight construction, and system-level efficiency, it offers a competitive integrated energy solution for diversified green power applications.

“By overcoming key technical challenges such as excessive system vibration and load imbalance – barriers that have long held back two-blade designs, Envision has once again redefined wind power innovation by becoming the first in the industry to demonstrate long-term operational verification of a next-generation two-blade turbine.” said Mr. Lou Yimin, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Envision Energy.

Envision’s journey with two-blade turbine technology began more than a decade ago. In 2012, the company’s Global Innovation Center (GIC) in Denmark successfully developed the “Game Changer” – a 3.6 MW offshore two-blade turbine – becoming one of the first global innovators to pioneer this unconventional design in the heartland of the wind industry. Since the prototype was installed in 2013, Envision has accumulated significant product development and operational know-how, laying the foundation for its new-generation two-blade turbines.

To bring new technology from concept to commercialization, extensive validation is critical. Envision’s two-blade turbine underwent months of rigorous testing and nearly two years of real-world field operation at its smart wind power verification center, backed by a multi-level, full-process, all-condition validation system. Notably, using one of the  industry’s first multi-degree-of-freedom full-system loading test rigs, Envision defined dozens of unique two-blade operating conditions, focusing on critical performance metrics. All parameters were systematically planned, tested, and validated to ensure technological maturity and readiness for commercial deployment.

Envision’s new-generation two-blade turbine offers a fresh alternative to conventional three-blade models, particularly in scenarios where cost efficiency, transportability, and modular deployment are paramount. This breakthrough reaffirms Envision’s leadership in global wind innovation and its commitment to accelerating the transition to net zero through next-generation clean energy technologies.

 

Multiplier Launches ‘Beyond Borders’ Series to Explore the Realities of Global Employment

The new video series features conversations with global experts and future-of-work influencers on the challenges and opportunities of hiring, scaling, and managing teams across borders.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With about 74% of employers worldwide struggling to find skilled talent, spanning industries from healthcare to engineering, global hiring has become a necessity. In IT alone, over 90% of organizations are expected to face skills gaps by 2026. To help companies navigate this, Multiplier, the leading global employment platform, has launched Beyond Borders: New York, a new in-person video series featuring candid conversations between Multiplier leaders and influential voices in HR, compliance, payroll, and the future of work.

As companies scale internationally, HR and business leaders must adapt, from compliance to people strategy. Beyond Borders goes beyond today’s challenges to explore what’s next. Across eight episodes, the series explores every angle of global employment through conversations with the people shaping it, from founders and function heads to HR leaders and analysts. Together, they examine pressing issues including the global talent shortage, reimagining HR in the age of AI, and pay equity for women in distributed teams.

“Our goal was to spark grounded, unscripted dialogue between people who approach the same challenges from different angles and rarely get the chance to meet on the same stage,” said Sagar Khatri, CEO and co-founder of Multiplier. “We paired Multiplier executives with voices who approach global employment from the outside in — people who observe, analyze, and shape the trends transforming work.”

Each episode sits at the intersection of insight and experience, pairing tech leaders with HR strategists, product operators with analysts, and company insiders with external observers.

Featured conversations include:

  • Hebba Youssef (Chief People Officer, Workweek) and Sagar Khatri (CEO, Multiplier) on global HR burnout
  • Aman Kidwai (Editor, Newsweek), Rani Molla (Senior Tech Correspondent, Sherwood News), and Amritpal Singh (Co-founder & President of Field Operations, Multiplier) on global hiring as a response to the talent crisis
  • Erin Grau (COO, Charter) and Jen Briede (VP of Client Solutions, Multiplier) on women in the global workplace
  • Jeanne Meister (Future Workplace) and Vamsi Krishna (Co-founder & MD Global HR Compliance & Advisory, Multiplier) on the intersection of AI and HR
  • Pete Tiliakos (Principal Analyst, Strategic Advisor) and Michael Nierstedt (Product Director, Multiplier) on payroll for a borderless workforce
  • Kathryn Minshew (Founder, The Muse) and Sagar Khatri on adopting a global mindset
  • Sarah Reynolds (Analyst, Lighthouse) and Monish Munshi (CMO, Multiplier) on building global brands
  • Vinnie DiAngelo (VP of People Operations & Organizational Effectiveness, TriNet) and Matthew Carr (CRO, Multiplier) on leading high-performing global-first teams

The series is aimed at CHROs, people leaders, founders, and senior decision-makers tasked with scaling internationally and adapting people strategy to a global reality. While Beyond Borders debuts in New York, Multiplier plans to expand the series to other key markets, spotlighting local and global voices tackling the future of work from every angle.

The Beyond Borders New York series is now rolling out on Multiplier’s website, with one episode releasing each week over the next eight weeks. The first episode, on HR burnout, is now live.

Liaoning Rural Tourism: A Year-Round Vista among Mountains and Seas

SHENYANG, China, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from CRI:

 

 “Peach blossoms blush like dawn clouds, pear flowers gleam as winter’s snow, maple forests blaze in autumn glory, and snowfields stretch beyond the horizon.” Liaoning captivates visitors with an ever-unfolding rural panorama that shifts with the seasons, establishing itself a destination for all-year travel. The province’s cultural and tourism sector maintains its remarkable momentum. From January to June, visitor arrivals surged by 17.81%, with inbound tourists jumping 44.72% year-on-year, nearly half of whom extended their stays to four days or longer.

A Riot of Blooms and Wings in Spring

In late March, Hekou Village in Kuandian County, Dandong dazzled as miles of peach blossoms along the Yalu River burst into pink glory. The “Pear Blossom Avenue” in Beizhen, Jinzhou saw daily foot traffic peak at 50,000. At the Wolong Lake in Kangping and the tidal flats in Yingkou—key stopovers on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway—over 120,000 rare birds, including red-crowned cranes and swans, are spotted in spring.

An Adventure through Waves and Tides in Summer

This July in Changhai County, Dalian, fisherman Wang Zhongmin’s eight seaside rooms were fully reserved even before May Day holiday, and the demand never waned. The Daludao Island in Dandong and the Xingcheng Beach in Huludao rolled out new offerings like sailing and beach glamping.

A Feast of Colors and Harvest in Autumn

Launching in September, a new “Scarlet Leaves & Paddy Crabs” itinerary will link Benxi’s Guanmen Mountain, Panjin’s Red Beach, and its Rice Park. By day, tourists photograph crimson canopies; by night, they steam freshwater crabs.

A Delight of Snow and Ice in Winter

Gongchangling Ski Resort in Liaoyang will debut nighttime slope lighting this winter, with its hot-spring hotels projected at 80% occupancy. Meanwhile, Northeast-style winter markets in Shenyang and Fushun will buzz alongside lunar new year festivities, featuring Benxi’s Shehuo fire dances and Jinzhou’s shadow puppetry.

An official from Liaoning’s Department of Culture and Tourism announced plans to strategically leverage its “coastal landscapes, borderland charm, Liao cultural heritage, and red tourism” assets, curating more national “Four Seasons in the Countryside” premium routes. By 2025, the province aims to hit 100 million rural tourist arrivals annually.

Ascletis Completes Enrollment in U.S. Phase IIa Study for Its Small Molecule Oral GLP-1R Agonist, ASC30, in Participants with Obesity or Overweight

–          13-week U.S. Phase IIa study is evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two oral formulations of ASC30, a once-daily tablet, in 125 participants with obesity or overweight.

–         All 125 participants enrolled in just over one month; topline data expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

HONG KONG, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ascletis Pharma Inc. (HKEX: 1672, “Ascletis”) announces today completion of enrollment in its U.S. 13-week Phase IIa study evaluating ASC30, a small molecule oral GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist for the treatment of obesity (NCT07002905). All 125 participants are obese or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.

“We are excited to announce this important milestone, which brings us another step closer to delivering ASC30 as a potential unique and differentiated treatment for obesity,” said Jinzi Jason Wu, Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ascletis, “The rapid pace of enrollment of 125 participants in just over one month underscores the unmet medical need for additional treatment options for obesity. We are looking forward to topline data from this Phase IIa study in the fourth quarter 2025. As a small molecule, ASC30 has the potential to offer both once-daily oral and once-monthly subcutaneous injection dosing options for obesity treatment, if approved.”

The Phase IIa study is a 13-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability in participants with obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) or overweight (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 but < 30 kg/m2) with at least one weight-related comorbidity. Two oral formulations of one-daily ASC30 are being evaluated: formulation 1 (ASC30 tablets) and formulation 2 (ASC30 tablets A1). The primary endpoint of the study is the mean percentage body weight change from baseline at Week 13. The 13-week study protocol has a low starting dose of 1 mg of both formulation 1 and formulation 2, with weekly titrations to the desired maintenance doses of 20 mg and 40 mg of formulation 1 or 20 mg, 40 mg and 60 mg of formulation 2.

Both formulations have been evaluated in the oral ASC30 Phase Ia single ascending dose (SAD) study (NCT06680440). Formulation 2 demonstrated a flatter pharmacokinetic profile compared to formulation 1.

ASC30 was discovered and developed in-house at Ascletis as a first and only investigational small molecule GLP-1R biased agonist designed to be dosed once daily orally and once monthly subcutaneously for the treatment of obesity.
