Wind power is a sustainable and renewable source of energy. Climate change has effectively helped in lowering the cost of wind power to an extent that now it can compete with fossil fuels. However, the top turbine makers fear that wind power will become too
China’s wind energy hardware maker, MingYang Smart Energy has announced an offshore wind turbine that will be even bigger than GE’s gigantic Haliade-X. It will be the world’s largest wind turbine to power 20,000 homes per unit over a 25-year functional life. The 16-megawatt, 242-meter-tall
NTPC is India’s largest energy company that aims to accelerate power development in the nation. A Centre-owned electric utility company, NTPC is going to build India’s largest solar park of 4.75 gigawatts (GW) at Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. The solar park will also generate
Renewable energy resources have been high in demand, as the world races to reduce carbon emissions in order to prevent the rise of global temperatures. While ships were once the primary mode of international commerce, they have been less popular in contemporary times owing to
The world has been trying to harvest renewable energy for a while now. Solar energy and wind energy have become great reliable sources in order to reduce emissions generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. Recently, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed
Offshore wave energy conversion has been a pioneering field for quite some time now. German startup Sinn Power has recently developed a hybrid floating platform to generate energy. It combines wind turbines, solar panels, and wave energy harvesters to produce off-grid electricity for people living
The race to increase the renewable energy generation capacity has gone global in the past few years. Likewise, Indian subcontinent has a high potential for solar and wind power generation. According to a recent report by the National Institute of Wind Energy, the country’s cultivable
Ever since steam engines were replaced with electric trains, travelling by trains has easily been one of the most environmentally friendly mode of public transport. To take this eco-friendliness to highest level of e-mobility, Dutch railways network (NS) has turned all its electric trains into
Portable solar chargers for mobile devices are common, but they have a disadvantage: they are no good without sunlight. To change the game, Janulus, a Minnesota-based company, has come up with Trinity Portable Wind Turbine. Against company’s goal of raising $50,000 through Kickstater campaign, the project collected
As another giant leap in developing India’s renewable energy potential, the state of Tamil Nadu and SunEdison, global renewable energy development compay, have signed a MoU to develop 2 GW of wind and solar power projects in next five years with an expected investment of
