With energy demands rising, researchers at Penn State Behrend and the University of Tabriz, Iran, have completed an algorithm—or approach—to design more efficient wind farms, helping to generate more ...

For many environmental enthusiasts, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) — the kind that look like windmills slowly spinning in the distance — are a pretty familiar sight. Unfortunately, there are ...

Inspired by the “bumpy” flippers of humpback whales, the team of Frank Fish, Stephen Dewar, and Philip Watts, innovated turbine blades with three-dimensional bumps on their leading edges that alter ...

Wind energy already yields four percent of Earth’s power, but five researchers at French institutions recently drew inspiration from nature to make wind turbines even better. Inspired by creatures ...

“Wind energy is on the rise, and not just in the US,” said Mohammad Rasouli, assistant professor of electrical engineering at Penn State Erie, the Behrend College. Rasouli points out that efficiency ...

More and more homeowners are adopting renewable energy sources. Many are going for solar panels, and others are choosing wind turbines — and it's all about energy efficiency. So, which source is more ...

Explore how a wind turbine can be motionless and learn about the Aeromine, which aims to make generating wind energy on ...

FARGO -- North Dakota State University faculty will conduct research that could make wind power more widespread, reliable and efficient. “One of the key aspects of this study is to research the ...
