A new assessment of wind energy in India by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has found that the potential for on-shore wind energy deployment is far higher than the official estimates— about 20 times and up to 30 times greater than the current government estimate of 102 gigawatts. This landmark finding may have significant impact on […]

A team of engineers has harnessed a sophisticated weather model to optimize offshore wind plan

Gabriel — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:07:20 +0000

Using a sophisticated weather model, environmental engineers at Stanford have defined optimal placement of a grid of four wind farms off the U.S. East Coast. The model successfully balances production at times of peak demand and significantly reduces costly spikes and zero-power events. Politics aside, most energy experts agree that cheap, clean, renewable wind energy […]

A doctor writes in Northfield, Minnesota’s newspaper to actually warn residents to “be aware” of a proposal to install two industrial wind turbines. In his column, Dr. Gary Carlson says that people living too close to wind turbines are getting sick with headaches, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbance, vertigo, and dizziness. To him, sound waves, audible and inaudible, […]

Massive Off Shore Wind Farm in South Korea

Adrian — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 20:40:53 +0000

Wind energy currently meets a mere 1.5% of global electricity generation. But scientists foresee a lot of potential in this alternative energy source. Asian countries are also trying to embrace clean and green energy. South Korea is going for an ambitious off-shore wind farm amounting to $8.3 billion. This project will be executed at the […]
