Chennai Corporation in pursuit to use sources of alternative energy to light up the streets of city, especially roads along the coasts, has taken an initiative to install 15 meter towers with four solar panels below and micro wind turbines above to comple
When it comes to tapping into alternate sources of energy, solar power has taken a giant leap forward, leaving behind the other forms of renewable energy in the last two decades. While the reasons for this are well known by now, as we move closer to the p
High Altitude Wind Power is field that has been under constant scrutiny and has presented researchers with new challenges that they need to overcome in order to tap into an energy source that could potentially run the whole planet on alternate power. High
When people talk about alternate energy, the two sources that readily come to mind are wind and solar energy. While the use of solar energy has grown in leaps and bounds in the last decade or so, wind energy has just not received the same mainstream atten
Consistent performance of wind turbine is always necessary for better power generation. A wind turbine has to face both mild breezes and gale-force gusts under various weather conditions. This inconsistency often results in less power production. A team o
An arid area in north Kenya is soon going to feature Africa’s largest wind farm. The project is to be set up near Lake Turkana, the world’s largest permanent desert lake. Approximately 365 wind turbines are to be set up on sight. Officials would like
Wind Energy has often been touted as one of the most reliable sources of renewable energy. Efforts to harness this awesome power of nature commenced during the primordial age when Persians built the world’s first windmills. The designs of wind turbines
The Port of Leith in Scotland has been chosen as the site of a wind turbine manufacturing plant. Spanish wind turbine maker, Gamesa, chose the port for its 125 million pound plant following a close race between Hartlepool and Leith. The initiative is part
Wind turbine is one of the conventional devices used for harvesting green energy. The entire device is simple but consists of various parts, which are assembled together and play their own role in generating electricity. Wind blades are one of the importa
Being able to successfully harvest renewable energy means never having to worry about running out of energy sources. Present technologies allow us to experiment with a variety of concepts and designs, which when perfected, become surprisingly viable. Thou
