“Abnormal” New Wind Farm System Chops Months Off Timeline
In an “abnormal” departure from the normal procedure, MIT researchers have developed a quicker, more accurate system for siting wind farms.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is investing $2.5 million into a new project intended to research the atmospheric pressures that generate wind in mountain-valley regions. And while it might not sound glamorous to you (though it does to me), the in-depth research is set to provide better data for … [continued]
Belgium is planning to construct an island in the North Sea for the sole purpose of storing wind energy. Wind farms, when constructed using traditional mainstream methods, will eventually require backup as their electricity market penetration increases, and when wind turbines generate surplus electricity due to unusually high wind speeds … [continued]
