Worlds largest wind turbine – Enova of Norway

WindSmiths — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:22:29 +0000

Norway is working on its prototype flagship wind turbine, one that would be the worlds largest with the rotor a shocking 475′ and measuring 533′ tall. This is a true monster that will be able to blow in near 10-megawatts, which is roughly 3 times the amount of energy than that of todays wind turbines. They hope to have the unit installed in 2011, with 2 years of testing to follow. Unit will cost a whopping $23 million USD and should be a huge milestone for offshore wind energy.

University of Wisconsin (Madison)

WindSmiths — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 04:59:47 +0000

Vestas has entered into a long-term partnership with the College of Engineering. Vestas will begin providing funding support in 2009 that will grow to sponsor as many as 10 graduate and undergraduate students working on wind technology projects. The company also plans to provide visiting research fellows to campus and start a small research-and-development facility near the engineering campus that will focus on technology transfer. Another stage of the partnership will support named professorships or endowed chairs with expanded focus on wind-energy research and education. Vestas is committed to recruiting and retaining future talent for the wind-energy industry, so one named professorship will focus on developing new curriculum materials to support the emerging energy and sustainability fields.
