Who would have thought that the sleek Atlas Vertical Wind Turbine Generator with its vertical build and a powerful 10 KW output can looks more like a sculpture from the future than a piece of ...

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, ...

Sometime this year, the swept area of the world's largest wind turbine will grow by nearly 30 percent. Swept area describes the circular zone outlined by the tips of a turbine's turning rotor blades, ...

Critiques of wind power often centre around the wind turbines themselves. Conventional wind turbines are comprised of long blades that spin around an axis at great speed, and at great heights. Most ...

LONDON - Time To ACT plc (AQSE: TTA), an engineering group specializing in energy transition technology, announced today that its subsidiary, GreenSpur, has developed a preliminary design for a 15MW ...

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 ...

Vortex Bladeless uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ...

Home appliance maker Balmuda Inc. is developing a wind power generator combined with solar panels that is small enough to install on the yard or rooftop of an individual home. “We hope to contribute ...

Each turbine in a wind farm is equipped with a step-up transformer, which boosts (steps up) turbine generator output voltage from a few hundred volts to the collector system’s medium voltage ...

Most of the world's greatest wind power resources are offshore – often a long way offshore, where the water's so deep that it's impractical to build typical fan-on-a-stick wind turbines with bases ...
