MW Crossover Wind project in Cross County, Arkansas, has achieved commercial operations. “We are proud to announce that ...

The renewable energy sector is being forced to reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCoE). The wind energy industry is striving to match or exceed the LCoE of traditional energy sources. Due to ...

U.S. adoption of offshore wind technology has been slow compared to European counterparts. Europe’s first offshore wind installation, Denmark’s Vindeby, came online in 1991 with a capacity of 4.9 MW.

They say all good things come to pass and wind farms are no exception. For Alberta’s Cowley Ridge Wind Farm, Canada’s first and oldest commercial wind facility, the end of its operating life came ...

Back in 2017, GTM Research published a report on the state of the U.S. energy storage market through 2016. The study projects that by 2021 deployments of stored energy — a combination of residential, ...

Renewable sources of energy, which include wind power, have developed rapidly since the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was introduced in 1992 to address global warming and ...

Several years of monitoring drive train loads on a range of turbines show how frequently occurring wind events and those common to normal operations abuse drive trains and shorten gearbox life. Wind ...

It is no longer true that the main advantage of VAWT is that they do not need to orient to the wind. Now their main advantages are that they can capture more wind energy, or capture wind energy more ...

Lightning damage is a concern for operational wind projects around the world. Disputes between wind turbine owners and manufacturers regarding lightning damage to wind turbines, most commonly to ...

Over the past decade, airborne wind energy systems (AWES) have made significant research and development advancements. Using tethered flying devices, including kites and planes, AWES convert wind ...

Leading-edge erosion is a major cause of wind turbine blade wear. As the turbine rotor spins in the air, it hits dust, dirt, insects, hail, and more. That does not sound like much until you consider ...

The carbon payback times for wind turbines are much shorter than previously thought, according to international research carried out at the largest community wind farm in the UK. German student, ...
