According to Mr. José Zayas, Director, Wind and Water Power Technologies Office, U.S. Department of Energy, in the January 2013 edition of Sea Technology, “DOE is taking the first steps to develop an integrated National Offshore Resource & Design Data Network. This network will catalog all available sources of relevant more...

Internet search engine Google provided an estimated $10 million to a wind energy research group to develop a technology that could convert wind energy to massive amounts of electrical energy at competitive costs. Several entrepreneurs, organizations and groups are working toward such an objective and all agree that there is more...

Early forms of power generation involved waterwheels and windmills that transferred power through mechanical systems to achieve such tasks as grinding and milling grain or pumping water. During the early decades of the industrial revolution, power was transferred from waterwheels, hydraulic turbines and steam engines via mechanical means to a more...

An interesting phenomenon has been noted at several coastal wind farms in the western UK that are located along the Irish Sea. On clear days over the eastern Irish Sea, the wind turbines generate mist and fog on land. The swirling movement of the turbine blades apparently churns the cooler more...

Wind power generation is expanding worldwide with the tower-mounted 3-bladed design being the most popular wind power conversion technology. However, the variation of designs and range of output level is expanding as researchers and developers continually seek innovative ways to reduce the cost per kilowatt. Small-scale designs that cover the more...

Utilities have begun considering offshore wind as a source of new energy. Delmarva Power recently agreed to a long-term offshore wind power purchase contract, and organizations such as Long Island Power Authority and Public Service Enterprise Group are exploring the development and operation of offshore wind farms. The energy industry more...

Offshore wind production could surge forward. Both European and U.S. advocates say that the construction of such energy projects could take off assuming that both continents stick with their carbon-free energy themes. Offshore wind development, in theory, would avoid the typical in-fighting that occurs with respect to all other of more...

The global wind turbine supply chain faces the challenging task of bridging the gap between the high level of growth and the bottlenecks of 2008, and the resumption of high growth expected in 2010. Although some capacity investments have been frozen and new market entries postponed, 2009 has offered the more...

Wind generators and wireless networks are poised to push Minnesota to the lead among renewable integrators Minnesota is known as the "land of ten thousand lakes." Given the rapid growth of the state's renewable energy sector will it soon become the "land of ten thousand turbines?" More than 1400 wind more...

Owing to the increased penetration of wind power, utility and system operators familiar with managing non-renewable power sources are being forced to learn new a new trade: wind forecasting. When the relied-upon fuel is inherently intermittent -- not a characteristic of traditional energy sources -- understanding the supply side of more...
