The history of wind turbines dates back to the late 19th century when inventors began experimenting with using the wind to generate electricity. These early models were primarily used for pumping water and milling grain and were relatively small in size and limited in their capabilities. However, as technology advanced and our understanding of the…
A recent bid to revive wind farm plans in the south of Scotland has been rejected due to the height of the turbines involved. The decision, made by Dumfries and Galloway Council (DGC) and later upheld by the Scottish federal government., sets an important precedent for the future of wind power in Scotland. The original…
Inpex Corp, a Japanese oil and natural gas producer, said it has agreed to acquire stakes in two wind farms offshore the Netherlands from a subsidiary of fellow Japanese company Mitsubishi Corp. Inpex will be buying a 50% stake in the 129-MW Luchterduinen offshore wind farm and a 15% stake in the 731.5-MW Borssele III…
On Tuesday, German wind turbine maker Nordex SE said it has secured an order from regular customer Wpd AG to supply 47 MW of turbines for a wind farm in Sweden. The German company has ordered eight N163/5.X turbines for the Stollsaterberget project, inhabited between the Varmland and Dalarna provinces in western Sweden, near to…
Wind Energy is a great green energy option, so it’s one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world. A wind turbine is the main element responsible for generating energy with net-zero carbon emissions. However, many challenges arise while dealing with the end-of-life of turbine blades after losing their efficiency. To provide a deep insight…
Wind power is one of the most significant sustainable power production solutions to tackle the climate crisis. Equinor has demonstrated that the output is better and more sustainable on the high seas, opening up entirely new areas of possibility. It takes about 40 minutes for the Equinor company’s small team to reach this destination on…
Ecological Impact of Wind Power is Lesser on Bird Deaths Myth: Wind power has become an extreme problem for birth deaths. Nearly thousands of birds killed per unit of power generated by the wind every year. However, the insinuation of wind power is not good for birds than dirty energy sources. Fact: When compared to…
There is abundant wind power around us but have you ever thought, how these magnificent structures – the wind turbines work? If you have ever flown a kite or sailed a boat, you already know how strong the wind is. Harnessing wind power is an ancient concept- Windmills and wind turbines have been used to…
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Wind power could cover more than one-third of global power needs (35%), becoming the world’s foremost generation source. To fulfill this aim, the world’s installed wind power capacity must reach 6000 gigawatts – over ten times the current level – by 2050. See below a wind map of…
The turbine creator Henrik Stiesdal is little in the shadows of enormous curves of steel, enjoying employees bonded towers that will certainly be rooted to the seabed. This factory in the Danish countryside has actually produced thousands of masts for wind generators whose blades can stretch more than 500 feet. It’s a vital contribution to…
