Combining wind turbines with wave, solar and tidal devices on shared platforms reduces construction costs, improves stability ...

The future of renewable energy might be in the sky. Researchers in China have reportedly tested a new, gravity-defying wind turbine system that they say could generate power from the airspace above ...

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 ...

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 ...

These remarkable modular wind turbines stack themselves up section by section, removing the need for gigantic cranes and promising to slash the cost of offshore wind installation by as much as half.

MidAmerican Energy is expanding technology that keeps wind turbine lights off at night — unless aircraft are nearby.The ...

In order for wind turbines to function effectively across wide ranges of wind conditions, you’ll need what’s known as blade pitch control. Lucy Pao, the Palmer Endowed Chair Professor in the ...

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... a 20,000 cubic-meter power-generating airship, floating 6,560 ft (2,000 meters) above the ground. Introducing the S2000 stratospheric airborne ...

The "very annoying" blinking lights on wind turbines may go dark. An Iowa House bill would require a system to turn them off when aircraft aren't close.

Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends ...
