As data-center developers frantically seek to secure power for their operations, one startup is proposing a novel solution: ...

Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning blades. A new generation of radical designs promises something different, ...

One problem when you try to field super-big wind turbines: All the components involved get super heavy as well. No surprise, then, that there are efforts afoot to figure out ways of lightening up the ...

Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That’s the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities ...

What is wind power density? The different types of generators used in wind-turbine systems. What architecture is most commonly used in high-power wind-energy-conversion systems (WECS)? Fundamental ...

As the world innovates to become more sustainable and electrified, the demand for renewable energy generation grows. Wind energy has become key in increasing the renewable energy generation mix of ...

With their considerable height and large blades turning almost hypnotically, wind turbines have become an iconic symbol of the planet's shift to renewable sources of energy. In Spain, however, one ...

For many environmental enthusiasts, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) — the kind that look like windmills slowly spinning in the distance — are a pretty familiar sight. Unfortunately, there are ...

When most of today’s wind projects were developed, first costs were the focus; operations and maintenance (O&M) costs were largely unknown. Now, with hundreds of turbine models in operation—sometimes ...

Andrew Forrest's huge wind plans to power his Pilbara mining operations have undergone a "substantial redesign," proposing to ...

Scientists have designed a new wind turbine that they say can better recover from turbulent conditions. By adding rotors to turbines, it will help them rebound from what are known as wakes. The new ...
