Wind energy is taking off all over again. This time, literally. In China, a multi-institute research and development project has created a series of large-scale floating turbine prototypes. The helium ...

China has the world's most powerful wind turbine, a 26-megawatt offshore model from Dongfang Electric, as reported by Electrek. One commenter on the article said this is "just another sign of how far ...

AMES, Iowa – Hui Hu picked up a 3-D printed model of a typical wind turbine and began explaining two problems with the big, tall, three-bladed machines. First, said the Iowa State University professor ...

Wind turbines generate electricity at the seaside in Kamisu city, Ibaraki prefecture about 110 kms east of Tokyo on April 26, 2013. As of April 2013, the city has 42 turbines and a total output of ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...

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.

Brazilian researchers have proposed a new mathematical model to change parameters for wind and solar resources and different levels of energy demand. The model was originally conceived for tropical ...

We calculated restrictions on wind and solar energy projects by looking at the restrictions states and counties imposed on ...
