EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

An Italian startup has just secured USD 3.1 million in seed funding to speed up the production of its AI-powered vertical micro wind turbines, which learn from the wind to maximize energy output. Pisa ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

Wind energy is recognized as an essential part of the shift to sustainable energy shift. However, its involvement in distributed energy generation is limited by the tendency to build turbines for ...

One day soon, you may be waiting for a bus underneath something that in a previous life has been sailing high above the ocean waves. Thanks to the work of a new joint project between researchers in ...

Wind turbines are being reinvented left, right, and center. A Swedish company is developing a floating wind turbine system made up of 126 small turbines spinning in unison. An American designer has ...

After more than 18 months in operation, having repaired 150+ rain-damaged onshore wind turbine blades in the U.S., Canada, South Africa and Europe, the patented “BR-8” robot from Rope Robotics (Aarhus ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Two companies are partnering to tackle one of the wind energy ...

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 ...
