Offshore use of vertical-axis wind turbines gets closer look
Albuquerque NM (SPX) Aug 03, 2012
Sandia National Laboratories' wind energy researchers are re-evaluating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) to help solve some of the problems of generating energy from offshore breezes. Though VAWTs have been around since the earliest days of wind energy research at Sandia and elsewhere, VAWT architecture could transform offshore wind technology. The economics of offshore windpower are different from land-based turbines, due to installation and operational challenges. VAWTs offer three big advant ... read more
