As the world has moved towards sustainable energy sources over the last few years, it’s increasingly common to be close to a wind turbine. The huge turbines visible on the horizon from where this is ...
For many environmental enthusiasts, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) — the kind that look like windmills slowly spinning in the distance — are a pretty familiar sight. Unfortunately, there are ...
The development team at KiteX based in Copenhagen, Denmark have created a new portable wind turbine aptly named the Wind Catcher, offering a lightweight turbine that generates electricity. x10 times ...
As they look for better wind conditions, wind developers have recently been exploring deeper water projects using floating rather than bottom-fixed turbines. Although still in their infancy, floating ...
Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...
Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...
How green is wind power? It’s not a simple question. Of course the wind blows without carbon emissions, but catching it isn’t easy. Building and erecting wind turbines requires hundreds of tons of ...
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 ...
