Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...

Shawn Frayne’s Windbelt uses vibrating ribbons, not blades, to harvest wind efficiently on a smaller scale where traditional turbines fail completely now.

Fraunhofer’s lightweight turbine starts in very low wind, delivering efficient, decentralized renewable power where ...

High above the streets of Yibin City in southwest China, a helium-filled airship shaped like a streamlined Zeppelin has quietly become a functioning power plant. The S1500 system, described by its ...

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 ...

Wind estimates are considered broadly robust but extreme wave statistics are not creating a risk of turbines being either ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...

AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...
