The initial wind turbine mounted at the 487MW SeaMade overseas wind job off the coast of Belgium has created very first power. DEME Offshore lately installed the initial 8.4 MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbine at the task in the Belgian North Sea, utilizing its DP2 offshore installation vessel Apollo. DEME’s cable television laying vessel Living…

Oil and gas outfit announces to use  electricity from OX2’s 132MW subsidy-free Metsälamminkangas project Lundin Petroleum, the leading independent oil and gas exploration, and Production Company that operates in Norway will indirectly supply energy to its operation platforms off Norway from the 132MW Metsälamminkangas wind farm which is being developed by OX2 in northern Finland. Recently,…

Texas and Iowa topped the list of highest wind power generating states in the US by installing the highest number of turbines ever last year, showing unprecedented growth in the nationwide capacity to a seven-year high as per the latest reports. Thanks to the tax benefits that have fuelled up this phenomenal growth that facilitated…

The Paris startup NewWind plans to radically change the field of wind energy with its development in the form of a tree, which with the help of “leaves” is able to generate electricity even from the smallest air flows. The eight-meter “tree” is a steel “trunk” with several dozen “branches” on which more than a…

The German research company Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has published a disappointing report on the use of coastal wind turbines. The results are stunning: because of the aggressiveness of the working environment, the cost of repairing turbines for the entire time they are in operation exceeds the cost of a new turbine by two orders of magnitude. Renewable…

Cross- Flow Turbine is a special type of water turbine designed for mini and micro hydel projects, with low head and high flow. A German named Fritz Ossberger invented the Cross-Flow Turbine, and hence these type of turbines are often referred as Ossberger turbine in tribute to him. Principle of Operation In most water turbines…

To generate power naturally, modern technology has discovered the use of wind turbines. This is a large wheel driven by kinetic energy utilized from wind which can help produce electricity. Currently, this is the energy resource with the returns or gains in the output of its power. In 21st century, there is an increase use…

A wind turbine is a gadget creates electrical energy by changing the wind’s kinetic energy. Wind turbines are designed in an extensive variety of horizontal and vertical shaft. The littlest turbines are utilized for applications, for example, battery charging for caravans or boats or to supply power to traffic signals. Somewhat bigger turbines can be…

The gas turbine is a type of internal combustion engine therefore also known as combustion turbine. Basically, this turbine uses liquid fuel or natural gas to get mechanical energy. The basic principle of the gas turbine is somehow similar to the steam turbine but gas turbine uses air instead of water. These are three main…

The steam turbine is a type of impulse reaction turbine which converts the thermal energy into mechanical energy. The history of this turbine goes back to the first century but Sir Charles Parsons invest the modern manifestation of the steam engine in 1884. This turbine has applications in transport mediums which use steam engines like trains and ships…
