In wind energy projects, obtaining precise and reliable wind resource data is crucial, yet the available data often remains limited in both time and space. To extend this data into the long term, integrating real-world measurements with model results becomes essential. This study demonstrates the process of improving modelled turbulence using observational data and calibrating high-resolution ...
The maintenance of wind turbines, and whole wind farms, is a challenge. Normally wind turbines are designed to operate for 20 years. ...
Once again, problems were identified and ways to adjust the design were identified, proposed and applied. The next stage of the ODIN project was to prototype the design and test performance against original design targets in an electric vehicle. ...
A more efficient and less intrusive wind turbine design has been welcomed by two of the UK industry’s biggest critics and government regulators. A new bladeless wind turbine that promises to be more efficient, less visually intrusive, and safer for birdlife than conventional turbines has ...
As with solar, the credit goes to technological advances and volume increases. For wind, however, innovation has mainly been a matter of size. From 1981 to 2015 the average length of a wind turbine rotor blade has increased more than sixfold, from 9 meters to 60 meters, as the cost of wind energy has dropped by a factor of 10. ...

Wind energy is one of the developing resources of renewable energy. In order to increase the use of wind energy, development of wind turbine blade with higher power coefficient plays a vital role. The work being presented here is to give new design of blade for VESTAS V82–1.65MW (HAWT). In this work, NACA ...
GE Energy (Atlanta, GA) announced that it has formed a joint venture with China’s Harbin Electric Machinery (HEC) to produce GE-designed wind turbines for sale in the Chinese wind energy market. Anticipating a six-fold increase in China’s wind power capacity by 2020, the joint-venture company will ...
