The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It ...
A modern day windmill that is good for the environment and your wallet. Sept. 16, 2010— -- Moving to alternative energy reduces our dependence on foreign oil, but it is not always easy or ...
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 77% ...
Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...
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 ...
If you imagine an industrial wind turbine, you likely picture the windmill design, technically known as a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). But the very first wind turbines, which were developed in ...
