When most of today’s wind projects were developed, first costs were the focus; operations and maintenance (O&M) costs were largely unknown. Now, with hundreds of turbine models in operation—sometimes ...

Wind turbines are producing an ever-greater share of the world’s energy mix, especially of generated electricity. Wind generators continue to get taller and to realize greater production capacity, but ...

Jul. 10—NEW LONDON — The first generator components, or nacelles for the Revolution Wind offshore wind farm arrived at State Pier in New London early Wednesday. The nacelles were delivered by the ...

What is wind power density? The different types of generators used in wind-turbine systems. What architecture is most commonly used in high-power wind-energy-conversion systems (WECS)? Fundamental ...

In Santa Cruz now, $7 buys Biden Gas. I hear say Joe’s next executive order requires windmill generators on all new vehicles. The faster they go, the more electricity they make. To ease the pain at ...

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys recap a week of hacks. A telescope mirror that can change shape and a helicopter without a swashplate lead the charge for fascinating engineering.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) last week ruled that the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) discriminated against wind generators when it used its transmission market power to ...

It is more than a little surprising that the wind-powered electricity generator took so long to invent. Even more surprising is how long it took to deploy at scale.

The development team at KiteX based in Copenhagen, Denmark have created a new portable wind turbine aptly named the Wind Catcher, offering a lightweight turbine that generates electricity. x10 times ...

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday issued Apple a patent for a cooling system that blows ionized air through an electronic device, controlling its path by creating electromagnetic fields ...
