Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning blades. A new generation of radical designs promises something different, ...

Wind power has become one of the pillars of the global energy transition, yet the basic silhouette of the modern turbine, a ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

Engineers from the University of Glasgow have revealed a new design for bladeless wind turbines that has the potential to optimize efficiency. Published in the Renewable Energy journal, the study used ...
