Current Wind Energy News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Wind power explored off California's coast
In many ways, wind energy seems an ideal energy source. Fields of mighty turbines spinning in rhythm could harness carbonless power and shuttle it off to homes and industries. (2007-12-13)

NASA spacecraft make new discoveries about Northern Lights
A fleet of NASA spacecraft, launched less than eight months ago, has made three important discoveries about spectacular eruptions of Northern Lights called "substorms" and the source of their power. (2007-12-12)

The power of multiples: Connecting wind farms can make a more reliable - and cheaper - power source
Wind power, long considered to be as fickle as wind itself, can be groomed to become a steady, dependable source of electricity and delivered at a lower cost than at present, according to scientists at Stanford University. (2007-11-26)

Recycling wind turbines
The development of wind power promises much in terms of providing us with renewable energy for the future and wind turbines could be the most effective way to harness that power. (2007-09-21)

Researchers find substantial wind resource off Mid-Atlantic coast
The wind resource off the Mid-Atlantic coast could supply the energy needs of nine states from Massachusetts to North Carolina, plus the District of Columbia—with enough left over to support a 50 percent increase in future energy demand—according to a study by researchers at the University of Delaware and Stanford University. (2007-02-02)

MSU professor creates one of nation's largest databases for wind energy research
In a little lab on the campus of Montana State University, John Mandell, Dan Samborsky, and scores of students, have been breaking things to advance the field of wind energy. (2006-08-14)

Sandia-developed device determines how well wind turbines operate
In West Texas, New Mexico, and other places around the world, wind turbines are used to generate electricity. But how can engineers determine their efficiency and health? (2006-07-27)

Optimising the control of wind generators by means of intelligent microsensors
The School of Engineering at Bayonne (ESTIA) is working on a research project on control optimisation for the latest-generation wind generators using intelligent microsensors. (2006-04-25)

Researchers make advances in wind energy generation
Engineers at the University of Alberta have created a wind energy generator that they hope people will one day be able to use to power their own homes. (2005-07-19)

Sunshine mapping from space means brighter solar energy future
How sunny is it outside right now - not just locally but all across Europe and Africa? Answering this question is at the heart of many weather-related business activities: solar power and the wider energy sector, architecture and construction, tourism, even health care. (2005-06-30)
