Engineers from the University of Glasgow have revealed a new design for bladeless wind turbines that has the potential to optimize efficiency. Published in the Renewable Energy journal, the study used ...

Across the world, wind power is growing fast—but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years.

The polar vortex will engulf much of North America as we head into next week, with temperatures dipping down into the -20s and -30s in some Canadian provinces. Even states like the Carolinas, Georgia, ...

Discover how fibre optic rotary joints are replacing slip rings to boost wind turbine reliability, reduce maintenance, and enable high-speed data.

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

EDF Renewable Services and 3M have reached an agreement to install 3M’s Wind Vortex Generators on wind turbines across the United States. The wind vortex generators are small attachments made from ...

In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...

As swimmers enjoy the beach this summer, massive chunks of debris, including sharp fiberglass shards, have been washing ashore on the once-pristine coast of Nantucket island, Massachusetts. The ...

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

This fundamental shift—the decentralization of power generation—is changing how national grids function, altering the ...
