Wind Power,Wind Turbine Manufacturer

Vestas Wind Systems was due to close its plant in Newport on the Isle of Wight yesterday, with the loss of over 600 jobs.
A 90-day consultation with the workers was due to end yesterday, but employees have received letters saying the timescale had been extended..
The extension follows a delay in legal moves to end the [...]

Recently, the Norwegian scientists developed new technologies that can be the world’s first floating wind turbine on the sea.
Compared with the land, at sea, more sustained winds stronger, but also a broad space. There are no crowded sea of construction, nor the endless mountains, the wind in the sea there will be no blocking. Prior [...]

ON THE back of $16 billion-worth of investment, America overtook Germany to become the world’s biggest wind-power generator last year. Wind accounted for 42% of new generating capacity, up from just 2% four years earlier. America’s blustery and lightly populated heartland states are ideal sites for turbines, so the country’s wind industry seemed poised for [...]

Construction of a mega wind power station is expected to kick off in Xuwen County in the western part of Guangdong Province this year.
The 1.3 billion yuan project will include wind-driven generators with an installed capacity of 120,000 kilowatts.
Some of the project’s equipment and technologies, including the generators, will be purchased from overseas, according to [...]

The government will today demonstrate its willingness to exert influence over Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group by announcing £1bn of lending to wind farm developers whose schemes have been becalmed by a lack of cash.
The initiative comes as Greenpeace unveils new figures showing that local councils run by the Conservative party block [...]

Baoding is the rapid development of wind power industry in microcosm. The city has a relatively complete industrial chain of wind power. 2008, Baoding output from wind power industry in 2007 jumped to 1.36 billion yuan of 2.5 billion. As early as 2006, the Baoding City Government to build on the proposed “China’s Xinhua Valley” [...]

Three Frenchmen, architects Nic­ola Delon and Julien Choppin, along with engineer Raphaël Ménard, believe they have stumbled upon a scalable design that would not only allow wind turbines to work in virtually any landscape, they believe it avoids some of the aesthetic hurdles normally facing large wind farms. The Wind-it concept would fuse vertical-axis wind [...]

Technological advancements in wind energy efficiency have generally come incrementally and usually made via a process of increasingly large wind turbine blades. Put simply, the model has been: longer blades = more output per turbine.
But that pattern of incremental improvements may be a thing of the past if Leviathan Energy has anything to say about [...]

Installation of a 100-kilowatt, community-scale wind turbine on the Appalachian State University campus has been completed and the turbine will soon begin generating electricity that will be fed into the system operated by New River Light and Power. The Northwind 100 turbine manufactured by Northern Power Systems of Vermont was installed by Alteris Renewables [...]

The Massachusetts National Guard today announced a proposal to build a wind farm on the Massachusetts Military Reservation that would include up to 17 turbines and vastly increase the amount of electricity generated by wind power in the state.
As the first of many steps toward building the project at the 22,000-acre facility on Cape Cod, [...]
