Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning blades. A new generation of radical designs promises something different, ...

Insights from a new study could help unlock the full potential of a developing form of smaller-scale wind power generation, researchers say. Engineers from the University of Glasgow have used ...

On a recent winter day on a wind farm in Germany, workers scaled 544-foot-tall wind turbines and started adding fringe-like attachments to the massive blades. The design, inspired by the shape of owl ...

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 ...

For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...

Meeting Europe’s fixed-bottom offshore wind needs with just Vestas and Siemens Gamesa as turbine suppliers is tough, but ...
