The three-blade design of modern wind turbines is not an accident but a precise balance of aerodynamics and physics.

Thanks to the development of new, lightweight rotors, engineers in Germany have created a small wind turbine that excels at ...

Researchers in Korea have developed a new design platform — and a staggering 12-megawatt-class blade to match — in an effort to put wind beneath the sails of its domestic production of wind power. The ...

Drag-based wind energy design. Aiming to translate its expertise in manufacturing monocoque, ribbed components with thermoplastic microspheres, Xenecore is working to develop a fan-shaped, drag-based ...

An Italian startup has just secured USD 3.1 million in seed funding to speed up the production of its AI-powered vertical ...

Even though offshore wind currently makes up only 0.3% of the world’s total power generation, the market is poised for growth as many investors are encouraged by wind power’s rapidly declining costs.

Making renewable energy greener. Wind energy is an increasingly popular form of renewable energy, but there are still aspects of the manufacturing, operation and end of life (EOL) of wind turbines ...

Robots, drones, and sensors help with inspections now and could be fully automated in the not-too-distant future. Drones and crawling robots outfitted with special scanners could help wind blades stay ...

The shutdown of a wind turbine blade factory in Newton will be an economic blow to the area, but an Iowa State University economist says the impact will not be the same as when Maytag left the ...
