Riso, Denmark (SPX) Feb 23, 2010For some years, the Wind Energy Division at Riso DTU has been working to develop a method for controlling the loads on large wind turbine blades using a flexible trailing edge made of an elastic material which can be controlled by means of compressed air or hydraulics. Now, the invention, which has been called CRTEF (Controllable Rubber Trailing Edge Flap), has been tested in a wind tunnel with ... more 
Beijing (UPI) Feb 22, 2009 Amid steep competition and lower profit margins, some industry insiders say China's wind turbine sector grew at the expense of quality. In 2004, there were six wind turbine manufacturers in China. By 2009 that number increased to more than 70 companies. During the same period, China's wind power capacity increased from 760 megawatts to 20,000 megawatts. Now the country is the world's th ... more 
Oslo (AFP) Feb 12, 2010Norway plans to build the world's most powerful wind turbine, hoping the new technology will increase the profitability of costly offhsore wind farms, partners behind the project said Friday. With a rotor diametre of 145 metres (475 feet), the 10-megawatt protype will be roughly three times more powerful than ordinary wind turbines currently in place, Enova, a public agency owned by Norway's ... more |

France's Starck designs garden-friendly wind turbineRome (AFP) Jan 27, 2010 Italian energy component maker Pramac announced on Wednesday the launch of a mini-wind turbine called "Revolutionair" designed by Frenchman Philippe Starck. The turbine, intended to be installed in people's gardens, comes in two models, rectangular and whisk-shaped. The rectangular turbine, which measures 90 centimeters (three feet) without its support stand, will produce 400 watts and will have a price-tag of at least 2,500 euros (3,500 dollars) in Italy. The whisk-shaped turbine measures 1 ... read more |
