Researchers at the UK’s Oxford Brookes University think wind turbines would be more efficient if they were designed differently. A team from the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics has ...
Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl announced today that it’s gotten its first commercial order for its vertical-axis floating wind turbine. The purchase is for a new vertical-axis floating wind ...
Compact (H-type) vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are not as familiar as their horizontal-axis, propeller-type cousins. The two have their origins in the windmills of the 12th century, and even ...
Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
Discover the future of wind energy as we compare traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the innovative IceWind ...
Compact (H-type) vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are not as familiar as their horizontal-axis, propeller-type cousins. The two have their origins in the windmills of the 12th century, and even ...
Small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) possess the ability to effectively operate in the presence of high turbulent flow, which makes them ideal energy harvesting devices in urban and suburban ...
Even as more offshore wind projects launch and the turbines they use get bigger, there are questions around offshore wind’s economic viability. Unsurprisingly, hauling huge equipment with multiple ...
Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That’s the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities ...
Muscat: A first-ever batch of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) has been recently installed at a small water desalination plant in Oman, heralding their wider deployment as a lower-cost—though less ...
A concept rendering of offshore vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). What makes renewable energy so exciting is the immense economic potential of groundbreaking technology advancements. A recent ...
Researchers model optimal configurations of vertical axis wind turbines and find they can offer a future where electricity costs are lowered, or even eliminated, in urban and suburban areas WASHINGTON ...
