The test took place on Sunday in Yibin, Sichuan Province, where the floating wind power platform rose to about 6,560 feet ...

China tests the world’s first airborne wind energy system, generating clean power at high altitudes using a helium-lifted ...

During the last 30 years, the size of the largest commercial wind turbines has increased from around 30 kW to as big as 5 MW. The working principle of a wind turbine is based on two well-known ...

Think of a wind turbine and you’ll probably picture a tall vertical pole with three long blades spinning at the top. These traditional turbines were modeled after 17th-century Dutch windmills, but for ...

When electric grids go down, there's no way to restore them -- 'blackstart' them -- with power from wind turbines. A team is now working to develop strategies and controllers that would reenergize ...

Wind turbines can also be classified as either stall regulated or pitch regulated. Stall regulation is achieved by proper geometries of the turbine blades such that the airfoil generates less ...
