The main purpose of a wind turbine is to generate energy and ultimately maximize energy generation from the local wind resource available. And at even a mere 20 meters higher, turbines could take advantage of higher wind speeds. There are tons of Truth: The rotor is the “collector” in any wind turbine design. It may look like a giant airplane window strung with Venetian blinds, but this structure, designed by Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo and installed at the Delft University of Technology in March, is a model of a machine that would convert wind to energy without any moving parts. Iowa State researchers think a modular concrete design could allow turbines to climb up to stronger wind currents. Over in western Michigan, wind OEMs can tap into a dense cluster of design and manufacturing firms focused on making high-quality turbine components. In a significant shift from previous years, the current tax credit grants $0.022 per kilowatt-hour to wind farms “under construction” by the end of 2013, rather than requiring projects to be “in production” by the end of the incentive's specified term. Of course, changing from steel to concrete carries some environmental questions: concrete contains cement, the production of which yields some serious carbon dioxide emissions. For the Maevaara wind farm project, Nordex will deploy its “Generation Delta” N117/3000 wind turbine, which it introduced earlier this year. Any mechanical moving parts, at least: California's San Onofre nuclear plant gets final death blow. AMERICA'S HOME FOR NEXT GENERATION ENERGY TECHNOLOGY. Current efforts are focused on the design of new vertical-axis wind turbine. The wind turbine would convert wind to energy without any moving parts. In terms of wider economic impact, . Harnessing their collective industrial and academic expertise, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to wind turbine design and wind farm planning for onshore and offshore wind-powered electricity generation. To be clear, there are some concrete towers already out on the market. 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. O2 tapped the well-established wind turbine company Nordex to provide the turbines. For decades, wind turbines were designed so that the propeller shaft was connected to a gearbox. The result is that generating an extra kilowatt hour kWh of electricity from an operating solar panel or wind turbine costs close to zero $0.00 / kWh.
