Are we stuck in a rut when it comes to wind turbine design? For decades, horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the renewable energy landscape, towering over fields and oceans as the ...

In a south Texas shipyard, a large vessel named after a horrifying mythological sea monster is now more than 75% finished. The ship is called Charybdis and when it’s complete—perhaps late next year or ...

Beyond clean power, offshore wind is fixing the ocean. Learn why aquatic wind turbines are doing a lot more than generating energy.

Wind turbine maker General Electric had been locked in a multi-year patent infringement battle with rival Siemens Gamesa over design of its landmark Haliade-X offshore model and sales in the in U.S.

This wind turbine is developed base in the digestion and absorption of 1.5MW and 2MW technology and the successful operation experience. This wind turbine is doubly-fed variable speed variable pitch ...
