A Design-by-Morphing and Bayesian optimization framework explored 5.8 million vertical-axis wind turbine configurations and found a hybrid blade design that outperforms both Savonius and Darrieus ...

A critical review finds that dynamic stall, vortex shedding and blade-wake interaction simultaneously govern the power, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Drag-based wind energy design. Aiming to translate its expertise in manufacturing monocoque, ribbed components with thermoplastic microspheres, Xenecore is working to develop a fan-shaped, drag-based ...

In a wind farm, individual turbines will sap some of the energy available to neighboring turbines, because of wake effects. Accurate wake modeling is important both for designing the layout of ...

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, ...

NKE Austria GmbH designs and manufactures bearings for wind turbine gearboxes and generators. The bearing solutions will be presented at the WindEurope Annual Event in Bilbao, Spain, in April 2022.

Wind and solar-powered charging could further lower the environmental impact of electric cars; but one New York-based company wants to combine them in one electricity-generating device that could be ...
