Philadelphia Eagles Team Goes Green With $30M Worth Wind And Solar Energy Station
The American football team Philadelphia Eagles has announced its implication in the green energy sector with the installation of a $30 million renewable wind and solar energy system in their â€Ã…“battle fieldâ€. The spiral wind turbines, the solar and the co-generation installations will give an unequaled perspective on the sporting venues to come.
SpiDAR: A Newly-Developed Wind Prediction System To Improve Wind Turbine Output by 15%
As they say, details make all the difference when it comes to big things. Following this principle, the huge wind turbines that you see on fields all around the world, need small adjustments and a little intelligence to act efficiently. Called SpiDAR, a newly-developed system can predict where wind is coming from and is going to be a step ahead and over currently-existing monitoring systems.
A Small and Efficient Home Wind Turbine Blade That Can Be Installed In 8...
Amateur wind turbines can often be as important to one as a 100-foot tall turbine with a giant propeller, because even if they're small, they provide the energy necessary for a family's needs, for example. Building safe and effective parts for this green technology niche is as important as building more efficient turbines at the high size.
Increased Global Warming Could Lower Overall Wind Power, Researcher Says
The Earth's systems are all interlinked and their proper functioning depends on all of them. Diandong Ren, a climate researcher at the University of Texas at Austin, has recently formulated a theory according to which wind power could drop by up to 12 percent if the global temperature will rise 2 to 4 degrees.
Massive Offshore Wind Farm To Be Built by South Korea
The $8.2 billion project, which involves building 500 turbines, will be developed by companies such as Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering.
How Bat Fatalities Could Be Reduced By Increasing Start Wind Speed Threshold For Wind...
A study performed by Edward Arnett, from Bat Conservation International in Austing, TX, and his colleagues, have determined that wind turbine operators could lower bat deaths by as much as 93 percent and at least 44 percent by raising the wind speed threshold at which the turbines begin to spin.
Purple-Painted Wind Turbines Wouldn't Kill So Many Bats, Researchers Say
In an attempt to reduce the environmental impact of wind turbines on wildlife, researchers from the Loughborough University in the UK have demonstrated that selecting a color different than grey or white affect the way these constructions affect insects.
Atlantic Wind Power Connection Backbone Funded by Google
Google has recently announced to have invested in a $5 billion project that consists in building a transmission backbone. The connection, called Atlantic Wind Connection would be a 350-mile power transmission linking wind turbines of 6,000 MW capacity.
E.Turbine Extracts Energy From Moving Cars On Highways
A new system that produces electricity and consists of wind turbines is under development. The system, called E. turbine, uses air movement to generate and preserve energy and it also permits the design of new infrastructures in highways.
German Utility EON Launches New Wind Power Plant in Poland
EON inaugurated on Thursday a 52.5 MW wind farm located in Poznan, Poland. The wind plant is worth approximately 100 million euros and is part of a company's program meant to deliver more renewable energy.
