With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative ...

The first production wind turbine for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project was installed Jan. 27, less than two weeks ...

Wind power generation in the U.S. is enjoying favorable winds. First, the cost of wind turbine installations has dropped by over one-third since 2010 as the capacity of turbines increased. Next, ...

Purdue University engineers have designed a low-speed, high-torque powertrain system to reduce the operation costs, maintenance costs and environmental contamination of turbines that generate wind ...

A wind energy conversion system needs a maximum power point tracking strategy. In the literature, several works have interested in the search for a maximum power point. Generally, their goals are to ...

Venyo’s high‑altitude wind kite flies figure‑eight patterns at 2,460 ft, generating up to 200 kW and turning strong sky winds into real clean energy.

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 ...

And particularly the cranes involved; remember, the heaviest bit of a regular pinwheel-style wind turbine is the generator right at the top of the tower. With these towers now reaching several hundred ...

Wind power could soon come from the sky as China has successfully tested a megawatt-class airborne turbine that generates electricity while hovering 2000 metres up. View on euronews ...
