Powering the future: clean energy anywhere, anytime through energy harvesting materials. According to Patrick James, a physicist and energy specialist at the University of Southampton, UK who was not ...

The 1.5MW ultra-low wind speed PMDD turbine boasts the “highest generation efficiency”, enabling it to generate power of more than 2000 standard hours per year based on an annual average wind ...

WindTronics says its $4,500 Honeywell Wind Turbine will generate electricity starting with 2-mile-per-hour wind, addressing one of the biggest barriers in small wind.

Homeowners considering solar as a backup for grid power or as a standalone energy source should take a second look at ...

The vertical-axis designed of the small leaf turbines with a magnet assembly enabled them to start generating energy at the low wind speed threshold of 4.5 mph without any distracting sound, ...

At low wind speeds, only a few of the coils will switch on–just enough to efficiently harvest the small amount of energy in low-speed wind. (If more coils were active, they would provide more ...

The wind power unit delivers 3.3 MW and extracts maximum energy yield from low to moderate wind velocities. It has a rotor measuring 130 m in diameter, says Pedersen, adding that the wind turbine ...

Wind OEMs have been working for years to improve the variable-speed techniques that are utilized by almost all modern wind turbines. New technology by Clipper Windpower Inc. of Carpinteria, Calif ...

Wind turbines with a low cut-in speed run more frequently than those set at higher cut-in speeds since they begin rotating at lower wind speeds. The researchers found that, ...

Windbreaks could help wind farms pump out more power. Low walls in front of turbines, like these in Taiwan, could speed up gusts at the height of the turbine, computer simulations suggest.

Effective monitoring of slow speed rotating industrial applications, such as wind power generation is a critical requirement, especially given the continued expansion of ‘greener-energy’ alternatives.
