As the world innovates to become more sustainable and electrified, the demand for renewable energy generation grows. Wind energy has become key in increasing the renewable energy generation mix of ...

The first wind turbine tower manufactured using a spiral welding technique is now in commercial operation. Proponents of the new approach say it could revolutionize onshore wind deployment by offering ...

To design a better wind turbine, a startup called Biome took inspiration from the Andean condor. The massive bird—weighing as much as 35 pounds, with a wingspan as wide as 12 feet—can glide for hours ...

Spain may have taken a groundbreaking step in the renewable energy sector with the development of a revolutionary wind turbine design. Unlike the traditional towering blades we’re accustomed to, this ...

A new artificial intelligence system has designed a wind turbine for the first time in history, according to its developer. The British company EvoPhase claims that its AI has thrown all the ...

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 ...

A new approach to a 100-year-old math problem is reshaping how engineers understand wind turbines. Penn State engineering student Divya Tyagi developed a cleaner and more complete solution to a ...

CHEYENNE - With a technology breakthrough, a fistful of patents and the help of Wyoming's tech-savvy former governor, a 10-year-old wind energy company appears poised to leap into the global market.

What if you don’t put airfoils on a central, spinning axis, but instead have them careen around a circular track? If you’re a company called Airloom, you’d say that it’s a very cheap, very efficient ...

A Penn State engineering student has made a remarkable breakthrough in wind energy research, revisiting and refining a 100-year-old equation that could lead to more efficient wind turbines. Divya ...

In a wind farm, individual turbines will sap some of the energy available to neighboring turbines, because of wake effects. Accurate wake modeling is important both for designing the layout of ...
