Risø, the National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy at the Technical University of Denmark, is conducting researching on improving the efficiency of wind turbine blades by adding plastic edges on the blades. Helge Aagaard Madsen, who is a research specialist on the project, explains, “Providing the blade with a movable trailing edge it is possible to control [...]

Oil wasn’t enough for Texans. They had to go and also be the wind energy capital of the United States. The energy rich state is all set to start exploiting their ample wind power but will need to expand its electricity grid in order to do so. The Public Utility Commission has established a $5 [...]

More good news for the expanding wind energy industry in the United Sates. Yesterday Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, reinforced the importance of alternative energy production for the future of America by promising to make renewable energy a top priority.

First of all, Dong Energy? Seriously? Hahahahaha. OK, I’m over it. Sorry about that. Dong Energy has recently signed a deal with Siemens… Bwahahahaha… Siemens? Really? Siemens is supplying Dong! Man, you just can’t make this stuff up. OK, sorry, back to your regularly scheduled wind power news. Dong Energy is all set to erect [...]

The Emerging Energy Research’s annual Wind Turbine Market Share Update found that in 2008 the established wind turbine manufacturers installed over 50 percent more wind turbines than the previous year. Newer wind turbine companies saw a growth of 100 percent. The big established wind turbine companies include: Bestas, General Electric, Gamesa, Enercon, Suzlon and Siemens. [...]

A London based company called Solar Botanic intends to use Energy Harvesting Trees to generate solar as well as wind energy utilizing an emerging science called “biomimicry.” Biomimicry mimics nature’s processes in order to produce clean, environmental friendly energy. Solar Botanic claims that its energy capturing powerhouse is going to be Nanoleaf. On their website, [...]
