Wind energy is taking off all over again. This time, literally. In China, a multi-institute research and development project has created a series of large-scale floating turbine prototypes. The helium ...
Aikido Technologies, a U.S. startup developing floating offshore wind platforms, announced a new product concept that merges wind turbine foundations with onboard data centers into a single steel ...
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 ...
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 ...
Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...
