New Ideas Enhance Efficiency of Wind Turbines
ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2010)
— One issue confronting the efficiency of wind as a promising renewable energy source is the wind itself -- specifically, its changeability. While the aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine is best under steady wind flow, the efficiency of the blades degrades when exposed to conditions such as wind gusts, turbulent flow, upstream turbine wakes and wind shear.

...The results suggest that either the overall operational range of the wind turbine could be effectively enlarged by 80 percent with the same rated power output, or the rated output power could be increased by 20 percent while maintaining the same level of operational range when the control is on....

I was wondering how long it would take you to "blow in" to the new forum.

Good article though. Not against making it out of new sources, just not buying into the "it's man made" stuff.....yet.

Improving efficiency won't help when the transmission infrastructure isn't there.

Countryside 3500P (pedestal version) used 10 yrs, 24/7 during days requiring heat. All original motors. Burns moldy corn, and pellets equally well. Burn it if you got it.

Sting - what is your issue? There are tons of forum topics that just deal with corn. This topic header is specifically Wind Technology and about Global Climate change and alternative energy. Stop getting your panties in a bunch whenever someone says Climate Change and unsubscribe from the feed.
