In 2023, some 100 miles off the coast of northeast England, the world’s largest wind turbines will start generating electricity. This first phase of the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm development uses ...

Norway's World Wide Wind has a radically different take on offshore wind power. These floating, vertical-axis wind turbines feature two sets of blades, tuned to contra-rotate – and they promise more ...

Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy systems have emerged as a pivotal technology in the generation of renewable power. These systems couple a wind turbine to a DFIG via ...

The sheer size of today's wind turbines is mind-boggling – they're among the biggest machines humanity has ever built, and the bigger they get, the more potential value you can get by adding a little ...

Interactions between wind turbines could reduce power output by 30% in proposed offshore wind farm areas along the East Coast, new research has found. In all, the farms could still meet 60% of the ...
