The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

In 2023, some 100 miles off the coast of northeast England, the world’s largest wind turbines will start generating electricity. This first phase of the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm development uses ...

Researchers have modeled the fluid dynamics of multi-rotor wind turbines via high-resolution numerical simulations. The simulations demonstrate a clear advantage for a turbine model with four rotors.

With its long wings, the red kite uses updrafts to gain height quickly. Zones where the conditions are particularly favorable ...

A new type of wind turbine blade that can be recycled at the end of its operational life has been developed at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull. The 354ft (108m) blades are made using a type of ...

Within electricity grid networks it is conventional for large-scale central generators to both provide power and control grid node voltage. Therefore when wind turbines replace conventional power ...
