New Offshore Wind Turbine Designs Reduce Costs

Research from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and University of Tokyo are revealing alternate designs from the typical vertical-style of offshore wind installations. Instead, using different types of floating platforms and turbines, researchers believe they can reduce the costs of installing Offshore Wind by roughly 50%. Additionally, researchers believe the cost of generating [...]

Reducing the Cost of Wind Power

Over at Iowa State University there is a hybrid mixture of government and business working together to reduce the cost of Wind power. ISU’s Wind Energy Manufacturing Laboratory is the perfect example of the private and public sectors combining resources towards a common goal. The Department of Energy is partnering with TPI Composites on a [...]
