For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...

Wind turbines keep getting bigger: Each blade can be longer than a football field, and one offshore turbine recently installed in China is as tall as a 50-story building. Making the base to hold up a ...

Researchers at the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed an AI-based tool that could significantly boost the efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of future wind ...

Renewables developer Exus Renewables North America is giving a $200 million upgrade to Somerset County, Pennsylvania’s 139 megawatt (MW) Twin Ridges Wind Farm – here’s why repowering projects like ...

Off the top of your head, how big do you think the biggest wind turbines are? A few dozen feet or meters? A hundred meters?

Wind energy harnesses atmospheric air movement driven ultimately by solar heating. Uneven heating of Earth's surface, land warming and cooling faster than oceans, intense solar radiation at the ...

Terry Husted lives in DeWitt County, a major pathway for migrating birds in central Illinois. After a company submitted plans to construct a wind farm in his area, Husted said he grew worried about ...

The U.S. East Coast is an ideal location to capture this power, but there’s a problem: getting electricity from ocean wind farms to the cities and towns that need it. The U.S. Department of Energy and ...

The government approval increases renewable electricity supply for homes across the UK.

Flaw detection in high-voltage transmission lines. Types of neutral grounding. Advantages of an offshore all-DC offshore wind power solution. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) ...

Avangrid (NYSE: AGR) now has full federal approval of the Construction and Operations Plan (COP) for the New England Wind 1 and 2 offshore wind farms. The approval of the COP follows the favorable ...

In the past, when designing the profile of rotor blades, the layout of wind turbines in a farm, or the day-to-day operation of wind turbines, engineers have relied on ad hoc adjustments added to the ...
