We all know that wind turbines generate electricity by harnessing the power of the wind to turn blades and a rotor, producing clean and green energy to help reduce the effects of climate change. Commercial wind turbines are starting to become a more common sight, but domestic systems are another option and could possibly save [...]
A wind turbine is a system that utilizes kinetic vitality to be converted into mechanical energy, utilizing turbines and the wind. The use of modest wind powered programs is meant for alternate power, charging of batteries and sail boats to identify a few. On the other hand, massive turbines are mainly applied for generating electricity [...]
A little prairie grouse could give the wind energy industry big fits. Should the lesser prairie chicken become listed as threatened or endangered — and it’s close now — there would be significant restrictions on companies hoping to plant towering turbines across a five-state region believed to have some of the nation’s best wind energy [...]
Residents should be offered discounts on their energy bills and free energy efficiency measures when wind farms are built in their community, the Local Government Association said today. Using a “community tariff” to share the financial benefits of renewable energy generation with local communities is one of nine ideas in a new LGA report on [...]
Michael Fogel is not a newcomer to the renewable energy initiative. In fact, his West Virginia home has been fitted with the green-friendly gadgets since the 1990s, with more on the way. But the same cannot be said for his West Bloomfield Township home. Fogel, 67, is hoping township officials will soon implement a wind [...]
In a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Green Energy Technologies LLC, Ohio’s only OEM wind turbine manufacturer, unveiled the first commercially installed WindCube(R), now in service on the roof of the new Crown Battery Renewable Energy Center in Port Clinton’s Lake Erie Business Park. Based on initial site analysis and testing, at winds of 14 mph it [...]
A way to make wind power smoother and more efficient that exploits the inertia of a wind turbine rotor could help solve the problem of wind speed variation, according to research published in the International Journal of Power Electronics. Wind power is being touted as a clean and inexhaustible energy source across the globe, but [...]
