One of the main drawbacks of wind turbines is the fact that for maximum efficiency, the power that they generate must be fed into the grid right as the wind is blowing and their blades are spinning. While that power can be stored in batteries for later use, some of it will always be lost [...]
Their primary focus is working on structures that are dangerous or difficult to access, such as bridges, pipelines, and wind turbines. The patent-pending robot design consists of a series of repeatable and hinged segments … Read more: Helical Robotics http://www.windpowerengineering.com/construction/installation/helical-robotics-can-help-service-turbines/
We’ve been stuck in a quagmire on individual wind turbine efficiency, meaning wind energy is now a mature technology that is not really a viable mass solution for replacing fossil fuels. But California Institute of Technology researchers have revisited some of the fundamental assumptions that guided the wind industry for the past 30 years, and [...]
LINCOLN — That “swoosh” sound that windmills make as the big blades pass by their towers is a sweet chord to Richard Plinsky. “It sounds like ‘cha-ching, cha-ching,’ kinda like a cash register,” he said. His farm and ranch is situated among the 155 massive turbines in the Smoky Hills Wind Farm in Lincoln and [...]
People have been using wind power from the time immemorial. Originally they learnt to transform kinetic energy of wind stream into mechanical one. There appeared lots of different wind mills making men’s life much easier in those times. An idea of a wind turbine for electric power generation using wind power started up around 100 [...]
