An abandoned World War II-era warehouse in an impoverished part of South Carolina is now a $110 million engineering facility -- and the proving grounds for the next generation of wind turbines, ...

A wildly innovative turbine that could halve the cost of offshore wind is set to go into testing in Norway. The 19-m (62-ft), 30-kW, contra-rotating vertical-axis turbine is a prototype of a design ...

Rutgers University researchers want to develop floating offshore wind turbines like Hywind, the world’s first floating wind energy farm where structures ride big waves 18 miles off Scotland’s coast.

Solar is becoming accessible, with solar generators and plug-in systems. Wind turbines are still waiting for the same revolution that solar has seen. However, with realistic expectations, I've managed ...

It’s an unspoken rule, but a wind turbine really must be environmentally-friendly, highly-efficient and cost-effective. And because the massive wind machines rise into the sky on enormous feet, they ...

The WTTC opened in 2011 and has since evolved to test longer wind turbine blades (Credit: DOE) When WTTC opened in 2011, it tested land-based wind turbine blades that typically spanned around 50 ...

MidAmerican's radar that will turn on wind turbine warning lights when a plane is detected. Residents of four Iowa counties may notice there are no red lights now blinking in the night sky.

The Shine Turbine is compact, durable, and effective in high-wind environments. Its 40W output is better suited to phones, power banks, and small devices. Wind dependency makes it less versatile than ...

WindTronics is one of many wind companies trying to crack into the clean energy industry. Can it make wind power affordable and revitalize manufacturing at the same time? Martin LaMonica is a senior ...

A new system using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of embedded-control software releases keeps turbines up on the farm For its wind turbine control systems, Siemens’ engineers faced the challenge ...

Louisville, CO, October 7, 2013 — Boulder Wind Power (BWP) announced today that the latest test results of its patented printed circuit board (PCB) stator technology prove a clear advantage in ...
