There are plenty of places outside where you may like to have a project requiring electricity that may not get enough sun for solar power to be viable. Perhaps wind power could be used instead? [Greg] ...

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl got the go-ahead to test its 1 megawatt (MW) S2X vertical-axis floating offshore prototype in Norway. In March 2022, Norway’s Ministry of Energy gave approval to ...

The awareness of a greener future and its benefits is getting all the right attention in Europe. With the current climate conditions and with energy bills skyrocketing, every other person in the ...

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 used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...

Icelandic renewable energy company IceWind is now launching its innovative six-bladed wind-powered turbines for home use in the U.S. Wind now accounts for 7.2% of power generated in the United States, ...
