VisionAIR3: Heralding a Revolution in Wind Turbines?

VisionAIR3: Heralding a Revolution in Wind Turbines?
In the last few days, the official debut of a new vertical axis micro wind turbine was launched.  It’s a  new addition to the UGE (formerly Urban Green Energy) portfolio of turbines.  It’s called the “VisionAIR3″ and is a ramped-up, high-efficiency version of the company’s earlier micro-vertical axis wind turbine models. in 2012 UGE  partnered with… Read the rest

New Type of Turbine Designed in English University

New Type of Turbine Designed in English University
Here on the MWPS web pages we often feature new innovative designs to capture wind energy.  Few ever make it beyond the drawing board or prototype stage, and therefore the standard three-bladed wind turbines continue to be seen (although getting bigger year by year). However, a Derbyshire inventor has teamed up with Nottingham’s Trent University and… Read the rest

Storing Green Energy

Storing Green Energy
It has long been recognised that the vagaries of  the waves, the sun, and the wind,  mean that renewable “green” cannot be relied upon for 100% all-year-round electricity generation.  While batteries can be used to store energy generated while the waves are high, the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, they have been inefficient… Read the rest

A Revolutionary Bladeless Turbine is Unveiled

A Revolutionary Bladeless Turbine is Unveiled
A wind turbine without blades? Is that possible?? Yes! Vortex Bladeless have demonstrated how their turbines generate electricity from the wind through movement of the mast- and not a blade in sight! It may be that you have got very blasé about wind turbines. After all, they’ve been around for quite a few decades and are… Read the rest

The Sound of Wind Power

The Sound of Wind Power
The anti-wind and pro-fossil fuels lobbies frequently make a lot of fuss about the (allegedly) deleterious effects of being in close proximity to operational wind turbines. There is a lot of heat generated and not much light in these debates. But one University is going to grasp the bull by the turbine blades/horns and shed some… Read the rest

Proposed Control System to end Wind Power Oscillation Issues

Proposed Control System to end Wind Power Oscillation Issues
It has long been a pain in the blades that the changes in wind speed pose a threat to generators in power grids. The changes in wind speed cause “oscillations” which can cause generators to fail, and leading to blackouts- and reputational risk for the wind industry. However in a paper  published in late autumn, part-funded… Read the rest

The Calming Effects of Wind Turbines

The Calming Effects of Wind Turbines
In the debates about the environmental effects of wind farms and wind turbines, it’s unfortunate that a lot of media coverage is given to those that see them as a blight on the land and the offshore seascapes; towering monstrosities of evening sunlight deflection and distracting noise. many of these people have never been near a… Read the rest
