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 UKA Group and the Nordex Group have commissioned the Mahlsdorf wind farm on schedule and in full. With an installed ...

"[It] is already running at full capacity." 'Self-erecting' wind turbine project hits major testing milestone first appeared ...

Virtually every week there are articles about new and innovative methods for harvesting wind energy. And every week more megawatts of capacity from three-blade horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) ...

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.

A young researcher has put forward two protection techniques so that wind generators continue to be operative despite breaks in electricity supply. In his PhD, Jesús López Taberna put forward two ...

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 ...

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 ...
