It may seem as though the German plains are all but tapped out when it comes to wind energy production. To refute this theory researchers are sending stunt kites into the skies to harness the [...]

Ontario, Canada has carved out a niche for itself as a hub of green technology. One of the latest clean tech innovations to come out of that province is DARWIND5, a vertical axis wind turbine [...]

Delivers renewable energy at a cost competitive with current fossil fuel rates. Most wind turbines are meant to stay in the place where they are installed for the life of the unit, but one company [...]

The Windstrument offers a different vision of what wind power can be in urban areas. Enough of the fields of turbines! It may be full of potential, but wind power is still a young industry [...]

The amount of power to be reaped from tapping low- and high-altitude winds dwarfs global demand Wind turbines on land and offshore could readily provide more than four times the power that the world as a [...]

The financial viability of wind power has been demonstrated in Europe, China, and parts of the United States New estimates of the potential for wind power and the research that backs the estimates up was published in [...]

“Our turbines make virtually no noise.” The potential damage to bird and bat populations by large wind turbines is often used as an argument against more wind power installations, and serves as great fodder for comments here on TreeHugger when we [...]

18 V2 vertical axis wind turbines on the medical center’s roof Venger Wind and US renewable distributor SWG Energy just installed the world’s largest rooftop wind farm atop the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) in Oklahoma City. The project saw [...]

Their approach depends upon the day ahead forecast of load variation, market prices, and photovoltaic generation. An economically feasible way to store solar energy in existing residential power networks is the subject of an award [...]

The world’s first fully integrated wind-powered EV charging station has been installed in Barcelona, Spain. The charging station, known as the Sanya Skypump, was unveiled today by Urban Green Energy and GE, and it combines UGE’s cutting-edge vertical wind turbines [...]

KIT Controls Fluctuation of Renewable Energies by Using Modern Storage Systems Energy storage systems are one of the key technologies for the energy turnaround. With their help, the fluctuating supply of electricity based on photovoltaics [...]

What if you could make a wind turbine with no blades at all? A Tunisian company called Saphon Energy says it has designed a turbine using Zero-Blade Technology inspired by a sailboat that is more [...]
