Wind turbines can turn the power of wind into the electricity we all use to power our homes and businesses. They can be stand-alone, supplying just one or a very small number of homes or businesses, or they can be clustered to form part of a wind farm. Here we explain how they work...
Prevention is better than cure, which is why it's best to have the right dry-air strategy for your wind turbine from the very beginning - as soon as the wind turbines leave the manufacturing site. But what if your wind turbines never had the right dry-air strategy from the beginning, ...
How Do Wind Turbines Work? Rebecca J. Barthelmie and Sara C. Pryor Every 24 hours, wind generates enough kinetic energy to produce roughly 35 times more electricity than humanity uses each day. And unlike coal or oil, this resource is totally re...
How does floating offshore wind energy work To find out how floating offshore wind energy works, we must first answer the following question: Why do wind turbines float in the sea as structures 120 metres high and weighing thousands of tons? The solution was given by Archimedes 2,300 years...
Wind turbines that produce enough electricity to fully — or even partially — power a home are substantial in size. Unlike many solar generators and photovoltaic panel systems, you’ll most likely require planning permission and permits to install a wind turbine for residential use — even if it...
Vertical-axis wind turbines (left: Darrieus turbine) In a VAWT, the shaft is mounted on a vertical axis, perpendicular to the ground. VAWTs are always aligned with the wind, unlike their horizontal-axis counterparts, so there's no adjustment necessary when the wind direction changes; but a ...
This test brings superconductor turbines to a deliverable level that could open up more research opportunities.A team of scientists from around Europe has tested a wind turbine that transmits energy using a superconductor. The team, named the EcoSwing Consortium, published its project in the journal...
Growing demand for cleaner energy sources means offshore wind farms are being built all over the world. More than 5,000 turbines must be installed each year until 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5℃.
Wind turbines in Greece set a national record on September 6, accounting for 81 percent of the country's electricity output. High temperatures, wildfires and flooding pretty much sum up the weather patterns in Greece since the summer. From an unprecedented amount of rain in...
