Hydraulically Stored Wind Power Increases Efficiency Dramatically
A blog whose articles I read daily, cleanbreak.ca, has published some news about a company from Alberta, Canada (Lancaster Wind Systems) that wants to bring an innovation to the classic and old wind turbines. The company itself hasn't described the exact method by which they are going to improve the efficiency of the wind turbine, but the main idea is that they're going to store a few hours of energy in a hydraulic system, so when the wind doesn't blow, you'll still have energy, converted at a higher rate.
