The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It included 11 turbines with a capacity of 450 kW each, and the project cost 10 ...

Vertical-axis wind turbines with their high energy potential, have until now been vulnerable to strong gusts of wind. The explanatory open access paper has been published Nature Communications.

Installed under traditional wind turbines, they can double the output of electricity from a wind farm while still leaving ...

Freen OÜ is transforming urban and rural landscapes with its cutting-edge Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) Our mission is to democratize access to wind energy and make it viable in places where ...

The generator in a vertical-axis turbine, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere on said vertical axis; in an offshore context, this means it can be at the waterline or below, adding weight where ...

New vertical axis wind turbines that could be a game-changer for distributed generation powering farms, factories and apartment blocks are being taken for a trial spin by a team in Australia. Flinders ...

[Photo: World Wide Wind] How it works. The concept of vertical axis turbines is not new, but the architecture of this machine—which the company says is patent pending—is radically different.

But vertical axis wind turbines can. Though they have been around for many years, they may have finally found their niche. A Japanese startup called Challenergy wants to face the challenge of ...
