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 ...

Current U.S. turbine capacity for wind totals at 118 GW or 8.4% of utility scale energy production. The offshore wind capacity is a measly 42 MW led by the first off shore wind farm at Block ...

The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It ...

Researchers have found that vertical wind turbines can improve each other's performance by up to 15%, which could greatly boost wind farm energy production.

Little wind: At a test plot in Los Angeles County, California, John Dabiri tests his concepts for wind farms made of small, vertical-axis wind turbines. Dabiri’s wind turbines are 10 meters tall ...

Wind now accounts for 7.2% of power generated in the United States, and IceWind says that will be around 20% in less than a decade, by 2030. But most of that is the huge horizontal turbines you ...

Savonius-type vertical-axis wind turbines are low-maintenance and can operate even in low wind speeds. However, you will need a good battery bank to store energy and also a charge controller for ...

(Phys.org) -- Sandia National Laboratories’ wind energy researchers are re-evaluating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) to help solve some of the problems of generating energy from offshore ...

Since revealing an wind turbine wall concept back in 2021, Joe Doucet has been working on bringing the idea to life. That time is here with the launch of Airiva, a modular rotary wind turbine wall ...

Moreover, the research found that when vertical wind turbines are set in pairs, they can increase each other’s performance by up to 15%. The study, based on more than 11,500 hours of computer ...

Urban wind turbines face an up-hill battle, as many people feel they are too big, too expensive, and potential eyesores. However McCamley just unveiled a prototype for a new vertical-axis turbine ...

You may have seen renderings of an eye-catching wall covered in vertical wind turbines making the rounds online. That bold concept is finally spinning into reality with a product called Airiva ...
