While the Netherlands is the country most known for its windmills, they were originally invented by the Persians. More surprisingly, some of them are still turning after 1,000 years. The …read more Continue reading Help Wanted: Keep the World’s Oldest Windmills Turning
China’s Sany Renewable Energy claims it has just erected the world’s largest onshore wind turbine. The 15MW prototype was installed earlier this week in northeast China’s Jilin Province.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Wind turbine, Wi… Continue reading World’s largest onshore wind turbine spins up 430 ft blades to deliver 15 MW
Swedish company NoviOcean has tested a third-gen prototype of its combination wind/solar/wave energy platform, a floating platform rated for up to 1 megawatt of consistent clean energy around the clock thanks to a fascinating buoyancy-driven mechanism…. Continue reading Buoyancy-driven hybrid energy platform moves to full-scale pilot
The WindFloat Atlantic project – the world’s first semi-submersible floating offshore wind farm, located off the coast of Portugal with only three turbines – has exceeded expectations over the last four years of operation, generating a total of 320 GWh… Continue reading Better than expected: World’s first semi-submersible floating wind farm

Looking like a set of bridge supports that were accidentally installed on a cargo ship, a new wind-driven system by startup CoFlow Jet promises to reduce ship fuel costs by up to 90% using stationary cylinders with no moving parts.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Cylinder sails promise up to 90% fuel consumption cut for cargo ships
In the Belgian North Sea, maintenance vessels are now able to tether to an automatic cable at a wind farm to get their batteries topped up. The innovative system is the first of its kind and a major step in keeping electric vessels as green as possible… Continue reading World-first wind turbine tech puts an 8-megawatt charger on an oil rig
While the quest for pulling more megawatts from wind turbines has generally led to bigger and bigger rotors on turbines of conventional design – like this monster 22-MW number in China – Norway’s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has taken a different path. … Continue reading Massive 40-MW floating wind turbine array wins major tick of approval
