By mid-2022, in the United States alone, the installed wind capacity totaled 139,145 megawatts. But wind power accomplishments are found throughout the globe. The tallest…
With the twist of two or three blades around a rotor fueled by movement in the air resulting from variations in atmospheric heat—we call this…
Harnessing the natural power of air in motion, wind turbines generate electricity. In all, U.S. wind turbines operated at a cumulative capacity of 105,853 MW…
Some industries move faster than others. Standardization has a responsibility to keep pace with these rapidly developing sectors. In a groundbreaking move, the American Society…
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has released the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB), a useful resource for visualizing the distribution of wind power generation…
As we have discussed in the past, a wind turbine’s output is dependent on its height, since taller turbines are exposed to greater wind speeds….
The power output of a wind turbine is largely dependent on two factors: the wind speed and the height of the tower. Currently, the tallest…
As we discussed in our post on local opposition to wind energy projects, the majority of people in the United States support renewable energy but…
