A new wind turbine blade design that researchers at Sandia developed in partnership with Knight & Carver of San Diego should significantly reduce the cost-of-energy of wind turbines at low-wind-speed ...

Researchers in Korea have developed a new design platform — and a staggering 12-megawatt-class blade to match — in an effort to put wind beneath the sails of its domestic production of wind power. The ...

Everyone’s owned a pinwheel at one time or another. I remember riding in the back of my parents’ car, sticking my pinwheel out the window as we traveled down the street. The speed at which the ...

Following years of research and development, Siemens announced a breakthrough in low-noise wind turbine blade design. The new DinoTail technology is an aeroacoustic noise augmentation tool patterned ...

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 ...

Wind energy is becoming highly popular in the area of renewable energy, with wind energy being forecast to provide up to 8% of the world’s consumption of electricity by 2021. Advancements in wind ...

A new study published in Renewable Energy has detailed the progress made in developing a new leaf-shaped wind turbine, but ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A new wind turbine blade design that researchers at Sandia National Laboratories developed in partnership with Knight & Carver (K&C) of San Diego promises to be more efficient ...

Wind turbines are a fantastic, cheap, renewable source of energy. However, nothing lasts forever, and over time, the blades of wind turbines fatigue and must be replaced. This then raises the question ...

The combed-teeth structure of Siemens’ new low-noise DinoTail aerodynamic blade add-on mimics an owl wing’s trailing edge fringe. For comparison, an un-combed blade is shown on the left. Following ...
