Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...
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% ...
Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl announced today that it’s gotten its first commercial order for its vertical-axis floating wind turbine. The purchase is for a new vertical-axis floating wind ...
Wind power technology in 2025 pushed well beyond incremental upgrades, with engineers rethinking how, where, and even what wind turbines look like. From floating giants the size of city blocks and ...
Onshore, offshore, and up in the air—the power of wind is evident in the changing energy landscape. Advancements in wind power technology are many, with developers in both the onshore and offshore ...
Researchers at CalTech have found a way to increase the power output of wind farms at least 10x simply by optimizing the placement of wind turbines in a farm to "maximize its energy collecting ...
