The United States is expected to add more than 7 GW of wind installations in 2025, a 36% increase over the previous year, and ...

U.S. adoption of offshore wind technology has been slow compared to European counterparts. Europe’s first offshore wind installation, Denmark’s Vindeby, came online in 1991 with a capacity of 4.9 MW.

Back in 2017, GTM Research published a report on the state of the U.S. energy storage market through 2016. The study projects that by 2021 deployments of stored energy — a combination of residential, ...

They say all good things come to pass and wind farms are no exception. For Alberta’s Cowley Ridge Wind Farm, Canada’s first and oldest commercial wind facility, the end of its operating life came ...

It is no longer true that the main advantage of VAWT is that they do not need to orient to the wind. Now their main advantages are that they can capture more wind energy, or capture wind energy more ...

It can be tough to predict, and even tougher to manage. But wind-farm operators are finding success navigating around Mother Nature in cold climates. After experiencing significant wind-farm downtime ...

The renewable energy sector is being forced to reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCoE). The wind energy industry is striving to match or exceed the LCoE of traditional energy sources. Due to ...

Renewable sources of energy, which include wind power, have developed rapidly since the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was introduced in 1992 to address global warming and ...

In various high-performance sectors like wind energy, carbon fiber composites are indispensable due to their light weight and high-strength properties. However, the end-of-life management of carbon ...

Axial cracking in bearing races has become all too common in large megawatt turbines. This damage can shorten bearing life to as little as one to two years. Recent research suggests a root cause of ...

The offshore wind sector is critical to achieving net-zero goals and ensuring energy security. As governments around the world hedge their bets on offshore wind being a key driver to meeting those ...

The use of rope-based descent (RBD) systems for emergency evacuation in the wind energy sector could be reduced given the encouraging market response to Evacuator, a fireproof, rapid descent system ...
