In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

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 ...

Clever aerodynamic use of slow and steady air currents could set a new milestone for large-scale clean wind-generated electricity. At least, that is the claim of one rooftop renewable energy company, ...

Renzo Piano’s Dragonfly Wind Turbine, with two blades, in partnership with ENEL Green Power, marries clean design to nature’s efficiencies. In Pisa, it also has been put to the proof to prove to all ...

Many designers of utility scale wind turbines dismiss the idea of using turbines to capture energy from light breezes and in areas where there isn't a lot of wind. Their argument comes from Betz's law ...

With their considerable height and large blades turning almost hypnotically, wind turbines have become an iconic symbol of the planet's shift to renewable sources of energy. In Spain, however, one ...
