Turbines exceed 100 kilowatts of power in size and are usually installed in groups to provide significant power—currently, these types of systems provide about 8.4% of all energy in the United ...

Wind turbines are traditionally divided into horizontal (HAWT) and vertical (VAWT) types. The difference lies in the direction of the rotation axis in relation to the surface.

The Starting wind This is the point at which the turbine will begin to rotate and generate electricity. For most European residential settings, especially urban or suburban areas, get the VAWTs ...

California has just taken the first step in creating an offshore wind farm. Five energy companies just won the bid to lease 583 square miles off the coast of Humboldt County and near Morro Bay.

As the remnants of Debby approach, it brings along with it the threat of severe weather. One of the main concerns, beyond flooding from dumping rain, is the threat of dangerous wind.

But it’s rare for tornadoes or other types of severe weather to destroy a wind turbine, said Fraser McLachlan, chief executive of GCube, a company that insures renewable energy projects like ...

But the image opponents want you to think about is this. Imagine those same types of wind turbines only two to three times larger. That image is represented by the graphic KTIV made below.

Wind power may generate roughly 40% of North America's electricity by 2050, and solar power another 32%, if current and projected capacity development plans proceed as expected, data from risk ...

Swedish power giant Vattenfall did a two-year, €3 million study of seabirds at an offshore wind farm off Scotland – here’s what it found. The aim of the 115-page study, which took place at ...
