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% ...
We are finally learning how to farm the sky for energy. All this time, the fastest, most consistent winds on Earth have stayed just out of reach. They swirled thousands of feet above our heads while ...
The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread ...
Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... a 20,000 cubic-meter power-generating airship, floating 6,560 ft (2,000 meters) above the ground. Introducing the S2000 stratospheric airborne ...
Purdue University’s College of Engineering is at the forefront of innovative educational tools with its virtual wind tunnel project. The initiative, developed by faculty from the Schools of ...
TUCUMCARI, N.M. (KFDA) - Ruben makes his way to Tucumcari and learns how a wind program plays a big part at Mesalands Community College. Nathaniel Alexander, wind tech instructor at Mesalands, says ...
