As wind blows it generates kinetic energy, which is energy from movement. This turns the blades on a turbine, which then causes a shaft (drive shaft) within the system to rotate (view diagram below).

Clean electricity from the sun and wind has expanded at record speed, but the next phase of decarbonization will be defined ...

Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) systems represent a transformative approach to harvesting wind energy by utilising tethered wings or aircraft to capture the superior wind resources available at higher ...

Does wind energy have a future on Long Island? That was the question Matt Cohen, the president and CEO of the Long Island Association, posed at the organization’s State of the Region breakfast at the ...

Are we stuck in a rut when it comes to wind turbine design? For decades, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the renewable energy landscape, towering over fields and oceans as the ...
