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 ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you've got enough wind to spin a turbine, you have a source of clean energy. Taking advantage of it is easier and less expensive than you think. The post What to Know About Home Wind Turbines ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Bring On the Typhoons? Unfortunately, the conventional three-bladed wind turbines you see dotting the plains can’t stand up to the awesome power of typhoons. But vertical axis wind turbines can.
