Installation of All Wind Turbines Completed in Kostolac
Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) has completed the installation of all 20 wind turbines within its first wind farm in Kostolac, marking the entry of this significant project into its final phase. The wind turbines, standing 179 meters tall, are distributed across…
Germany Installed the Most Wind Turbines in Europe in 2024
Over the past year, Germany reaffirmed its leading position in Europe by installing more wind turbines than any other country on the continent. According to data from WindEurope, new onshore and offshore installations exceeded 4 GW, placing Germany ahead of…
How Renewing Old Wind Turbines Contributes to Greater Energy Production Efficiency
Wind energy is not a new way of producing renewable energy, as the first commercial wind farms began to be built in the second half of the 20th century. Consequently, a growing number of wind turbines in Europe are nearing…
Researchers Develop Bird Detection & Deterrent System For Wind Turbines
Researchers from Oregon State University have developed and begun testing a bird detection and deterrent system for wind turbines that seeks to better analyze the impact of wind turbines on birds and begin protecting them in the process. Despite the…
‘Repowering’ Older Onshore Wind Turbines Could Save Billpayers Millions, Analysis Finds
Upgrading the UK’s existing onshore wind farms as they reach the end of their operational lives would provide a highly cost-effective way to boost cheap, low carbon electricity generation for years to come, a new analysis today by think tank…
Constructing Offshore Wind Turbines In Port Is More Cost Effective
Constructing offshore wind turbines in port rather than onsite in variable conditions has been found to be the most cost-effective method, according to research published this week by researchers from the University of Delaware. Researchers from the University of Delaware,…
Walney Extension World’s First To Use 8.25 Megawatt Wind Turbines
The 330 megawatt Walney Extension West offshore wind farm has begun wind turbine installation and will go down as the world’s first offshore wind project to use wind turbines rated at 8.25 megawatts. Located in the Irish Sea off the…
