Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...

The Swiss manufacturer launches Gurit98m, an open-source blade model designed to support the development, design and optimisation of wind turbine blade materials. This initiative also reflects the ...

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 ...

AI design specialists EvoPhase and precision metal fabricators KwikFab have unveiled the world’s first urban wind turbine designed by AI, and tailored to the unique wind conditions of a specific ...

It is the year 2035. In a world facing climate catastrophe, the human enterprise is powered by fields of wind farms, with turbine blades made from fast-growing grasses and the roots of a ...

The term “hydroelectric power” often brings to mind immense operations driven by purpose-built infrastructure such as dam systems and large turbines with traditionally metallic, propeller-based ...
