To support the development of wind turbines generating 10 megawatts (MW) of power or more, composite wind turbine blades are now able to exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length. Increasing the size of ...

Wind turbine technicians dangle from heights of up to 360 feet to work on wind turbines. João Sardo has been working as a wind turbine specialist for nearly 20 years. Renewable energy is booming in ...

Researchers added tubercles to the leading edge of wind turbine blades for a 4.8% increase in lift-to-drag ratio. This increase in performance is expected to translate into increased energy output ...

Scientists show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an engineered flow control accessory, known as a Gurney flap, can greatly improve wind turbine performance. To achieve the ...

US Army researchers believe they have found a novel way to articulate the position of turbine blades in the hot section of jet engines. They say the innovation could significantly improve the ...
