Darrieus wind turbines have aerodynamic blades, but the blades are only flying in clean air at the optimum angle for power generation 15–30 percent of the time.

Getting information about the state’s only offshore wind project under construction has been difficult in the last six months ...

By 1931 the first forerunner of the modern horizontal-axis wind generators was put into service at Yalta, in Russia. It was a 100-kW generator on a 30-meter-high tower that featured a load factor ...

The wind generator repair industry is expanding, but TRICO TCWIND feels it's a few steps ahead of new competitors, he said. They've purchased equipment that other plants in the United States don't ...

These vertical wind turbines generate electricity As well as generating renewable energy, wind turbines might soon remove air pollution too. Zhong Lin Wang at the Georgia Institute of Technology ...

As wind turbines grow larger and more powerful, maintenance becomes increasingly challenging. The ‘Jack-up on Jack-up’ design is built to handle even the largest turbines, up to 20 megawatts (MW).

A debate over whether it is best to harness wind energy with horizontal-axis devices or vertical-axis devices has raged for thousands of years. Even how the technologies evolved is under some dispute.

Many inventors have questioned the logic of harnessing wind power by situating heavy gearboxes, generators, and rotor blades hundreds of feet in the air, as is the case for conventional horizontal ...
