For example, according to the U.S. The first thing most of the people imagine when they hear the term wind turbine are wind mills. Jon Vaquerizo and Xabier Calvo report.

When asked how long the demonstration project will run, Stiesdal said the two turbines are "intended to be energy-producing machines – so their lifespan will be as long as the rest of the wind power plant", projected for 20 years. Simulation helps the design of one of the world's highest-efficiency permanent magnet wind turbine generators. Readers could be excused if they felt a bit skeptical at the In other words, rather than using wind energy to spin magnets that pull charged particles along a wire -- which is what conventional generators do -- EWICON has the wind get those charged particles moving without any help from magnets. The results show the superiority of wind turbines that are designed for lower wind speeds (IEC III class) in both locations, in terms of energy production. This seems like a no-brainer considering the enormous possibilities for power generation that recent studies are highlighting. HAWTs are the stereotypical “windmill” design with a main rotor shaft and generator atop a tower – the axis of rotation is parallel to the ground. The wind turbine design is something which is increasingly worked upon to suit the needs and improve the production of energy released from using them. A skyscraper covered in thousands of tiny bristles is the novel proposal by a Swedish architecture firm for turning a building into a wind power generator. The 6-MW turbines are designed for a 25-year life. Simulation aids design of wind turbine generators. However these designs generate power only when faced into the wind. Testing will When asked whether Siemens expects to make any major revisions to the 6-MW turbine's design, Stiesdal was emphatic: "No.
