The U.S. wind market installed 593 MW in Q2 2025, down 60% compared to Q2 2024. But installations through the first nine ...

It is no longer true that the main advantage of VAWT is that they do not need to orient to the wind. Now their main advantages are that they can capture more wind energy, or capture wind energy more ...

They say all good things come to pass and wind farms are no exception. For Alberta’s Cowley Ridge Wind Farm, Canada’s first and oldest commercial wind facility, the end of its operating life came ...

It can be tough to predict, and even tougher to manage. But wind-farm operators are finding success navigating around Mother Nature in cold climates. After experiencing significant wind-farm downtime ...

Back in 2017, GTM Research published a report on the state of the U.S. energy storage market through 2016. The study projects that by 2021 deployments of stored energy — a combination of residential, ...

The renewable energy sector is being forced to reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCoE). The wind energy industry is striving to match or exceed the LCoE of traditional energy sources. Due to ...

After over 18 months in operation, having repaired over 150 rain-damaged onshore wind turbine blades on three continents, the patented robot from Denmark’s Rope Robotics has demonstrated return on ...

U.S. adoption of offshore wind technology has been slow compared to European counterparts. Europe’s first offshore wind installation, Denmark’s Vindeby, came online in 1991 with a capacity of 4.9 MW.

Each area breaks into other factors and requirements. As the wind-turbine industry matures, it is likely these factors will drive wind turbine and drivetrain designs to converge on a small number of ...

Axial cracking in bearing races has become all too common in large megawatt turbines. This damage can shorten bearing life to as little as one to two years. Recent research suggests a root cause of ...

The offshore wind industry in North America stands on the cusp of transformative growth, with considerable progress made toward the U.S. goal to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030. Yet, as the ...

Offshore wind is enjoying a boom time, contributing more and more to the global energy transition with smarter operations and more powerful wind turbines. Europe is still the largest market, ...
