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 ...
A design firm from New York, Atelier DNA, has developed a concept that uses cattail like stalks instead of traditional turbine blades for harnessing the power of wind. Planned for the city of Masdar, ...
The world's strongest winds race high in the sky, but that doesn't mean they're out of reach as a potentially potent energy source. Flying, swooping and floating turbines are being developed to turn ...
Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends ...
Has affordable, practical home wind power generation become a reality? The Honeywell Windgate wind turbine from EarthTronics looks like it could be a contender. Developers EarthTronics and Honeywell ...
If you think about turbines, you might think about large windmills on hills or offshore farms, right? However, it can also be ...
A viral video shows wind turbines operating in extreme cold, shedding ice by design and debunking claims that turbines fail in freezing temperatures.
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 ...
If voters decide in November to keep the cap-and-invest program, the state has plans that could bring the technology to its ...
