It’ll be the first time that the giant 13 MW GE Haliade-X turbines are energised offshore. Story continues below Dogger Bank is a large sandbank located in the North Sea. Historically, during the last ice age, it was part of Doggerland, a land bridge connecting Great Britain to ...
Today, nearly 20 years later, those strokes of genius have been transformed into a technology that is virtually synonymous with floating wind turbines: Hywind. We went sailing with the inventors behind Hywind to discover how they came up with the concept — a design that is at the heart of ...
Wind turbines are seen on a hill in front of a power station near the village of Macynia, Greece. /Reuters/Alkis KonstantinidisIPTO provides for the electrical interconnection of almost all Greek islands, in the framework of a green investment program amounting to $5.7 billi...
In an offshore wind farm, power generation is distributed over dozens of units, so the design must be more efficient to keep costs manageable. How is energy exported from an offshore wind farm? Wind farms evacuate the energy produced from their transformer station via a power line to a ...
Wind energy harnesses the power of the wind to move wind turbines and generate electricity for its consumers, standing out for its low environmental impact and its capacity to produce energy in remote regions. Hydroelectric power is another clean energy source that is emerging as an efficient and...
These ancient water wheels are like the turbines of today, spinning as a stream of water hits the blades. The gears of the wheel ground the wheat into flour. Pumped-Storage Plants The giant generators at Hoover Dam produce more than 2,000 megawatts. Photo courtesy U.S. Bureau of ...

electric vehiclespowered by clean energy sources are becoming increasingly popular, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Clean energy solutions can also be used for heating and cooling purposes in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, offering energy-efficient alternatives to traditional heating ...
More efficient in low-wind Low maintenance Futuristic aesthetic Frequently Asked Questions How Much Power Does a Wind Turbine Produce per Day? The electricity output of wind turbines is determined by numerous factors including wind speed, system size, and efficiency. Optimal wind speed for most turbi...
