Invenergy and its affiliated companies develop, own and operate large-scale renewable and other clean energy generation facilities in North America and Europe. That technology would seem to pair well with a new gearbox design from ExRo that allows turbines to much more efficiently turn fluctuating air currents into stable electricity. But our blade design lets us start generating power at 1.5mph and we don't use a starting motor,” says Steinke. The man-made tempest would spin wind turbines that could generate up to 1.25 gigawatts (though it's designed to operate at 60 percent capacity) on the driest, hottest summer days—more than some nuclear power plants. Worldwide interest in renewable energy options has given rise to a rash of new wind turbine designs. A new vertical axis design that is targeted for urban locations. But the Darrieus models use an airfoil design. This story from Science Daily provides a glimpse into how future wind turbine towers might be designed, using concrete instead of steel. Supplier of 12ft and 24 ft diameter wind turbines. Some of the most recent models on the market are vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), which manufacturers claim are quiet, efficient, economical and perfect for residential energy production, especially in urban environments. A wind turbine airfoil works in the same way as an airplane wing. An airfoil has a flat side and a curved side. Since the turbine's metering was reset in July of last year, it has produced the clean energy equivalent of 684.6 barrels of oil. Presently wind turbines use a mechanical transmission to smooth out the speed at which energy is delivered to an internal generator. We've already covered Catch the Wind's laser-based system for creating 3-D maps of wind direction and speed. A well known supplier of small wind turbines. €�Existing wind turbines can run with winds as low as perhaps 7 or 8 mph.
