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 ...

Icelandic renewable energy company IceWind is now launching its innovative six-bladed wind-powered turbines for home use in the U.S. Wind now accounts for 7.2% of power generated in the United States, ...

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 ...

Researchers have modeled the fluid dynamics of multi-rotor wind turbines via high-resolution numerical simulations. The simulations demonstrate a clear advantage for a turbine model with four rotors.

James Dyson and the team at the James Dyson Foundation announced today the winner of the 2018 Dyson Award, selecting a small, omnidirectional wind turbine out of 20 international finalists. Called ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they ...

Benjamin Cerfontaine received funding from the European Union (Grant agreement ID: 753156) and the Supergen ORE Hub (SEAMLESS project). Growing demand for cleaner energy sources means offshore wind ...
