When most of today’s wind projects were developed, first costs were the focus; operations and maintenance (O&M) costs were largely unknown. Now, with hundreds of turbine models in operation—sometimes ...

A study by energy industry experts showed that an average wind turbine generator lasts around 25 to 75 years. A spokesperson for the wind farm mentioned in the post said its wind turbine generators ...

Wind turbines, which contributed more than 9% of U.S. electricity in 2021, last roughly 20 to 25 years before they must be replaced, according to the Energy Information Administration. But some social ...

Wind turbines are producing an ever-greater share of the world’s energy mix, especially of generated electricity. Wind generators continue to get taller and to realize greater production capacity, but ...

In 2021, wind turbines generated over 9 percent of US utility-scale electricity. The majority of the turbines making up that figure are the horizontal-axis variety (a rotor mounted at the top of a ...

Here is a green gadget that is designed to be used in areas where there is no electric, and it is designed to produce enough electric for a small house depending on how much wind there is available.

If you can turn a wrench and operate an electric drill, you can build this simple generator in two days. Turn a car alternator into a homemade wind turbine by building this cheap and easy DIY wind ...

February 27, 2009 Wind power is notoriously flighty, particularly at ground level. Most turbine-on-a-post wind powered generators operate at around 20-40% of their rated generation capacity, simply ...
