The design allows the turbines to be much larger than before—and that could cut the cost of wind power by 20%. Wind turbines keep getting bigger: One design is three times taller than the Statue of ...
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 ...
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, ...
Shawn Frayne’s Windbelt uses vibrating ribbons, not blades, to harvest wind efficiently on a smaller scale where traditional ...
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 ...
University of Glasgow researchers are working to unlock the potential of bladeless wind power. For the first time, computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) have pinpointed the most ...
Abstract: A deeper understanding of the physics of atmospheric flow in the critical zone of wind-plant operation simulation is a grand challenge problem in the science of wind energy. High-fidelity ...
Clever aerodynamic use of slow and steady air currents could set a new milestone for large-scale clean wind-generated electricity. At least, that is the claim of one rooftop renewable energy company, ...
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 ...
Drag-based wind energy design. Aiming to translate its expertise in manufacturing monocoque, ribbed components with thermoplastic microspheres, Xenecore is working to develop a fan-shaped, drag-based ...
