The design allows the turbines to be much larger than before—and that could cut the cost of wind power by 20%. Wind turbines keep getting bigger: One design is three times taller than the Statue of ...

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 ...

A new artificial intelligence system has designed a wind turbine for the first time in history, according to its developer. The British company EvoPhase claims that its AI has thrown all the ...

A Norwegian company wants to help Norway reach its goal of harnessing 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2040 with its new vertical turbines. World Wide Wind claims it has developed a turbine with a ...

Wind power technology in 2025 pushed well beyond incremental upgrades, with engineers rethinking how, where, and even what ...

The first wind turbine tower manufactured using a spiral welding technique is now in commercial operation. Proponents of the new approach say it could revolutionize onshore wind deployment by offering ...

In southern Sweden, the city of Lund has built a multi-story parking garage that clearly shows how people can reuse old materials in practical and creative ways. The project demonstrates that builders ...

Insight into wind turbine technologies and how they deal with extreme weather. Turbine safety features that help mitigate damage. What the future holds for wind turbine technology. Wind turbines in ...

There are several operational factors and requirements that have guided design and development of composite wind turbine blades over the last 20 years. The most important factors and requirements are ...

Most of the world's greatest wind power resources are offshore – often a long way offshore, where the water's so deep that it's impractical to build typical fan-on-a-stick wind turbines with bases ...

Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...

Wind turbines are a fantastic, cheap, renewable source of energy. However, nothing lasts forever, and over time, the blades of wind turbines fatigue and must be replaced. This then raises the question ...
