Wait, Don’t Recycle Those Old Wind Turbines… Re-Use Them!
A US firm is refurbishing, upgrading, and relocating older wind turbines for re-use in the distributed energy resources market.
The WindRunner Cometh: Game Over For Foes Of Wind Farms
A US startup has hatched a new plan to bring supersized wind turbines to onshore wind farms, opening up new opportunities for development.
Never Mind The Bottlenecks, Wind Farm Repowering Is Taking Off
Repowering an existing wind farm is one way to get around the anti-wind movement and keep pumping more clean kilowatts into the grid.
Every Automaker Should Develop Conversion Kits For Their Gas Vehicles
Just recently we learned Volkswagen is going to sell an electric vehicle (EV) retrofit kit for its classic Beetle. Many CleanTechnica articles are about the transition of the world’s driving fleet to EVs, the expectation that sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will eventually be supplanted by EVs, and a broad forecast that fleet turnover will take approximately 15 years once ICE vehicle sales cease until the world reaches 100% electric power in this sector.
Repowering UK’s Onshore Wind Farms Is “Vital” In Face Of Looming Energy Gap
The United Kingdom must begin repowering its aging fleet of onshore wind farms if it is to generate enough low-carbon electricity to meet a looming 18% gap in the country’s total electricity demand by 2030.
Repowering UK Wind Farms Low-Cost Option To Increase Renewable Generation
Repowering and upgrading ageing UK wind farms as they near the end of their scheduled lifespan could increase the UK’s generating capacity by 1.3 gigawatts, providing a highly cost-effective means of increasing renewable generation.
