A distinct trend is emerging in the manufacture of wind turbine generators-the use of permanent magnets (PM). At the American Wind Energy Association’s Global Windpower 2007 Conference and Exhibition ...

When most of today’s wind projects were developed, first costs were the focus; operations and maintenance (O&M) costs were largely unknown. Now, with hundreds of turbine models in operation—sometimes ...

A subsidiary of the China State Shipbuilding Corp. (CSSC) has unveiled components for what would be the world’s largest and most-powerful wind turbine, an 18-MW product that tops the recent launching ...

Looking somewhat like a giant reed gently swaying in the wind, the new Vortexbladeless wind-driven generator prototype produces electricity with very few moving parts, on avery small footprint, and in ...

Wind turbine gearbox replacement cost can be as much as US$350,000. But EPRI’s physics-based AI early damage detection model, tested on WEC Energy Group, Southern Company and other utility’s wind ...

Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...

February 27, 2009 Wind power is notoriously flighty, particularly at ground level. Most turbine-on-a-post wind powered generators operate at around 20-40% of their rated generation capacity, simply ...

A division of the China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC) has showcased components for an 18-MW model that surpassed the recently launched 16-MW turbine created by several Chinese companies, making it by ...

A startup company in Chaska aims to turn wind power upside down. Instead of putting turbines high atop towers, SheerWind's unconventional idea is to scoop wind from above and channel it to ...

As concern about the use of greenhouse gasses continues to grow all over the globe, manufacturers and forward-thinkers are scrambling to find new and inventive ways to produce clean, renewable energy.
