EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...
To date, vertical-axis wind turbines have been “a failed technology,” said Richard James, PhD, co-owner of Minneapolis-based WhirrlEnergy.
KOHTLA-JäRVE, IDA-VIRUMAA, ESTONIA, November 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freen OÜ, an Estonia-based manufacturer of small wind solutions, is transforming urban ...
The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It ...
Even as more offshore wind projects launch and the turbines they use get bigger, there are questions around offshore wind’s economic viability. Unsurprisingly, hauling huge equipment with multiple ...
The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...
Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That’s the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities ...
The trend in turbine design has been toward taller and bigger, as the wind power industry tries to maximize generating capacity. But researchers from Caltech suggest the developers might be going ...
A modern day windmill that is good for the environment and your wallet. Sept. 16, 2010— -- Moving to alternative energy reduces our dependence on foreign oil, but it is not always easy or ...
