Renewable energy production and demand growth is gaining momentum in
many ways across the world. There is a booming demand of wind power
today and all wind energy equipment manufacturers are gearing up to meet
the demand and take advantage of it. Wind power capacity growth will be
reaching 447GW in the next five years and by year 2014 end, Asia will
lead the world in installed wind capacity. Enercon
is amongst the other manufacturers who are focusing on 3MV-class wind
turbines based on E-82/2.0. Without increasing the component sizes,
there are new designs to operate at 3MW power. There will be a 3-6%
increased yield because of these innovative designs as claimed by the
Enercon. 2 Comments

Yes, the day is not far off when reaching for sky is the new motto for
generating cost-effective renewable energy. Initially it was considered
to be technically non-viable to tap high-altitude winds. But today,
technically-advanced materials and innovative computer know-how are
giving new life to this scheme with innovative autonomous aerial
structures using wind energy to generate power. 7 Comments

Presently Fluid Dynamics Expert, John Dabiri, is very much on the quest of improving designs of wind turbines.
Spotting behaviours that may throw light on energy-related practices in
biological system and trying to implement that in real-life situations
is part of that quest and Mr.Dabiri is jubilant that he is learning
lessons from a school of fish! Water-energy, and wind energy are both studied. 2 Comments

A research company in New Hampshire recently patented its bladeless
wind turbine, which is based on a patent issued to Nikola Tesla in 1913.
This wind turbine is christened as the Fuller Wind Turbine. This
turbine is developed by Solar Aero.
The specialty of Fuller Wind Turbine is it has only one rotating part,
known as the turbine-driveshaft. The entire machinery is assembled
inside a housing. Wind turbines
are often disliked by environmentalists because they kill birds and
bats and often generate noise for the residents living nearby. 18 Comments

Backed with a $3 million assistance from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) Wilbraham-based FloDesign Wind Turbine Corp.
will expand its operations in the state. The company is recognized as
the developer of a U.S. Department of Energy-recognized "transformative"
wind energy technology. It will maintain its aerodynamic research
center in Wilbraham along with establishing a new corporate headquarters
and product development center in the historic Waltham Watch Factory.
The company also intends to assemble its first wind turbines in
Massachusetts. If everything goes according to the plan, the company
will establish a new benchmark for other wind energy technology companies to look up to and aspire to. 20 Comments

As fossil fuels continue to diminish and climate change poses an
ever-increasing threat, scientists around the world are searching for
new and more efficient methods of generating energy. Wind energy
is one of the more promising alternative energy sources and Norwegian
scientists are currently in the development stages of what promises to
be the world’s largest wind turbine. As if creating the biggest wind
turbine in the world was not enough, it also floats. Current plans for
the world’s largest wind turbine have the machine standing 533 feet
tall. 6 Comments

The one knock on wind energy
is that it is not portable. Until recently, there were few if any
portable devices that were available to literally take wind power on the
go. That is changing quick as there are several “back-pack” style
devices that are on the market. The Rose Wind Turbine
is the latest invention to be introduced to this ever growing energy
niche. The Rose Wind Turbine is a small portable device that is small
enough to fit into the trunk of the car and barely be noticed. However,
once this portable wind turbine comes out, it is sure to turn heads. 16 Comments

Wind power
has recently received a nice boost as one of the hottest forms of
energy on the market. When comparing the recent market growth against
all forms of energy, both renawables and non-renewables, wind turbines
seem to be jumping to the head of the pack. While it still has a way to
go before it catches up to solar, it is gaining ground rather quickly.
Something that will help pick up the pace even further is new technology
that is coming from FloDesign.
Their truly unique wind turbine is actually based on the design of a
jet engine instead of the traditional windmills that we see all across
the country. Their concept seems to be a simple one, but it extremely
effective. 23 Comments
سلام من حاضرم در مورد این موضوع تحقیق کنم.
