Caltech Researchers Find Schooling Fish Offer New Ideas For Wind FarmingCalifornia (SPX) May 19, 2010 The quest to derive energy from wind may soon be getting some help from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) fluid-dynamics expert John Dabiri-and a school of fish. As head of Caltech's Biological Propulsion Laboratory, Dabiri studies water- and wind-energy concepts that share the theme of bioinspiration: that is, identifying energy-related processes in biological systems that may provide insight into new approaches to-in this case-wind energy. "I became inspired by observations of s ... read more |

Washington (UPI) Mar 12, 2009 U.S. Renewable Energy Group, China-based A-Power Energy Generation Systems and American Nevada Group announced plans to build a wind turbine manufacturing facility in Nevada. The 320,000-square-foot plant, with annual production capacity of 1,100 megawatts of wind energy turbines annually - enough to power 330,000 homes - is expected to be ready for operation by the end of 2011. It is ... more 
Atwater MN (SPX) Mar 04, 2010Lake Country Wind Energy and National Wind announce that nearly 25,000 acres of land have been secured for the project. The acres leased in Meeker and Kandiyohi Counties represent over three-quarters of the land needed to develop the 340 megawatt (MW) community-owned wind farm. The project's goal is to sign 30,000 acres. With nearly 25,000 acres signed, Lake Country has made substantial pr ... more 
Stockholm (AFP) March 2, 2010Sweden will build 2,000 new wind turbines over the next decade as part of a bid to dramatically increase its production of renewable energy, Enterprise and Energy Minister Maud Olofsson said Tuesday. "Sweden has extremely good prospects for rapidly increasing the production of renewable energy, especially from the burning of biofuels, cogeneration plants and windpower," Olofsson wrote in a n ... more |

China's wind power sector faces challengesBeijing (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 third largest wind power market. Turbine blade prices have decreased by about one-third since 2004, an in ... read more |
