Designers in China have launched the first wind turbine levitating in the world of permanent magnetic levitation (Maglev) in the Wind Power Asia Exhibition 2006.
Considered a key step in the evolution of global wind power technology and a notable advance in independent intellectual property rights in China. The generator was jointly developed by the Institute of Energy Research of Guangzhou in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Guangzhou Hengyuan Energy Science & Zhongke Technology Co., Ltd. (more…)
The solar technology is not only in the flat solar collector or photovoltaic panel. I follow the process ID and proof of this is the prototype plant to produce solar electricity. (more…)
Germany is considered a world leader in wind energy deployment, with electricity production from wind having gone up more than eightfold—from 670 to more than 5500 GWh—between 1993 and 1999. In 1999, Germany had more than 4000 MW installed capacity. The prices also declined substantially over this period, indicating a learning rate of approximately 8%, and it is estimated that for each deutschemark (DM) spent by the government in subsidizing learning, market actors provided 2.1 DM. Furthermore, the manufacturing base for wind energy technologies, including indigenous firms as well as joint ventures, continues to expand in Germany. (more…)
In 2001, there were 14,000 small wind turbines for home/domestic use in the United States. The market potential for national and international market for small wind turbines is growing and have bright prospect. Small wind turbines as producing small energy are having the capacity up to 8% of the electricity needs of the United States in 2020. (more…)
In 2006, total world wind generating electricity capacity was around 72,000 MW, producing some 160 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year of electricity. As of the end of 2006, the top wind producers were Germany, with 20,622 MW; Spain, with 11,615 MW; and the United States, with 11,575 MW.
Even so, wind accounts for only about 1 percent of the world’s total energy use. (more…)
Wind energy comes from the mismatched heating system of the planet that runs all day and night, heated and cooled by the sun. They are also come as effect of the different between land and sea heat temperature, and natural barriers such as mountains. (more…)
Wind is a natural and inexhaustible source of energy, wind does not have to be imported or mined from deep down the earth. Wind energy is free from fuel price roller coaster and politics. Is it possible to build wind turbines for private houses so that you utilize wind energy and get your own electricity for your household needs? The answer is yes. (more…)
