Renewable Energy Reviewed by Chemistry & Industry - Special Issue Considers the Future of Power
Coinciding with the UK government’s energy review, the latest issue of Chemistry & Industry magazine (18 February 2002) evaluates the current and future status of renewable energy. Wind, landfill gas, biomass, solar, wave energy and fuel cells are covered. View More (2002-02-14)
Wind farm development can be powerful, as long as proper design is implemented
Wind energy helps alleviate some of the environmental concerns about burning fossil fuels, but wind farms also introduce their own problems related to wildlife conservation, including habitat loss and mortality to birds and bats. View More (2011-10-27)
Media invitation: Wind - Power of the Future
Hot on the heels of its recent report The Cost of Generating Electricity, the Royal Academy of Engineering is co-hosting a topical lecture entitled 'Wind Energy - Powering the Future'. The lecture will take place on Monday 15 March at The Royal Society of Edinburgh. Guest speaker, Dr Ian Mays, is Managing Director of Renewable Energy Systems Ltd and winner of a prestigious Royal Academy of... View More (2004-03-11)
Inderscience Publishers
A way to make wind power smoother and more efficient that exploits the inertia of a wind turbine rotor could help solve the problem of wind speed variation, according to research published in the International Journal of Power Electronics. View More (2009-01-08)
Global warming reduces available wind energy
A switch to wind energy will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions -- and reduce the global warming they cause. View More (2010-11-10)
More economical and easier to install wind generator: the wind reservoir
Two Basque companies, Enerlim and NECESA, have developed a new wind generator, a wind reservoir to make use of wind energy. This wind reservoir is much lighter than ordinary three-arm wind generators; hence, it is more economical and easier to install. On the other side, the machine is completely modular, as columns, pulleys and plates can be divided in order to make easier the production,... View More (2002-03-25)
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. View More (2007-09-21)
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. View More (2005-07-19)
Contemplating excess wind
How much usable energy do wind turbines produce? It is a question that perplexes engineers and frustrates potential users, especially on windless days. View More (2009-06-17)
Lawrence Livermore researchers find wind power not enough to affect global climate
-Though there is enough power in the earth's winds to be a primary source of near-zero emission electric power for the world, large-scale high altitude wind power generation is unlikely to substantially affect climate. View More (2012-09-11)
Making Wind Power More Efficient
A University of Ulster researcher has come up with a new method, using Artificial Intelligence techniques, to forecast wind energy more accurately than ever before. Predicting how fast the wind will blow has always been a major problem for wind farm operators. It is essential that they have some idea of how much electricity they will be able to produce each day based on the strength of the wind.... View More (2003-06-10)
Offshore wind technology ready for application

Using fluctuating wind power
Incorporating wind power into existing power grids is challenging because fluctuating wind speed and direction means turbines generate power inconsistently. View More (2013-03-26)
Stable power supply thanks to wind turbines
Wind turbines can help keep the voltage in the electricity network at a constant level. The power electronics in the turbines can effectively correct peaks and dips in the mains voltage. This is the conclusion reached by NWO-funded researchers. Modern wind turbines are a good means of coping with fluctuations in the mains voltage. Such fluctuations occur when the demand for energy increases... View More (2001-10-08)
Stock Market Swings Help Researchers Understand Extreme Events in Solar Wind
Astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have applied data analysis methods used to model stock market fluctuations, to explore changes in the solar wind (the sun's expanding atmosphere). They have discovered that the fluctuations in the solar wind follow the same kinds of patterns seen in the stock markets - particularly when it comes to the number of extreme events or large fluctuations....

New energy in search for future wind
Scientists are taking the first steps to improve estimates of long-term wind speed changes for the fast-growing wind energy sector. The research is intended to identify the risks for generators in a changing climate. View More (2011-09-26)
Enough wind to power global energy demand
There is enough energy available in winds to meet all of the world's demand. Atmospheric turbines that convert steadier and faster high-altitude winds into energy could generate even more power than ground- and ocean-based units. View More (2012-09-10)
Electricity systems can cope with large-scale wind power
Research by TU Delft proves that Dutch power stations are able to cope at any time in the future with variations in demand for electricity and supply of wind power, as long as use is made of up-to-date wind forecasts. PhD candidate Bart Ummels also demonstrates that there is no need for energy storage facilities. Ummels will receive his PhD on this topic on Thursday 26 February. View More (2009-02-23)
Key issues for the future of wind energy
The prestigious journal Energy Policy has recently reported two studies that highlight some key issues for the future of wind energy in Spain. View More (2009-09-08)
A giant wind-powered generator
The new TWT-1650 wind-powered generator presented in Pamplona has 36-metre vanes which, in a circular movement, sweep an area greater than that of a football pitch and which can withstand extremes of weather, including winds of up to 110 kilometres an hour. This device, made by Grupo Mtorres in collaboration with the Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE), is beginning its... View More (2003-10-14)
