Developed by the Government of Canada, the software is multilingual, and includes links to wind energy resource maps. The Wind Data Generator (WDG) is a Wind Energy Software tool capable of running WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model to create a wind atlas and to generate wind data at resolutions of 3 km to 10 km.
Since outgoing wind will still possess some kinetic energy, there must be a maximum proportion of the input energy that is available to be converted to electrical energy. [27] Accordingly, Betz's law gives the maximal achievable extraction of wind power by a wind turbine, known as Betz's coefficient, as 16 ⁄ 27 (59.3%) of the rate at which ...
Minovate was established as Miniwan on June 10, 2015 in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. In the same year, they developed and released the first version of the sandbox game Mini World [], [1] which officially launched on the mobile app stores in Mainland China in the next year. [1]
Wind power is used on a commercial basis in more than half of all the countries of the world. [4] Denmark produced 58% of its electricity from wind in 2023, a larger share than any other country. Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022.
Turbine blades for small-scale wind turbines are typically 1.5 to 3.5 metres (4 ft 11 in – 11 ft 6 in) in diameter and produce 0.5-10 kW at their optimal wind speed. [1] Most small wind turbines are horizontal-axis wind turbines, [2] but vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may have benefits in maintenance and placement, although they are less ...
Vortex Nano – 1 metre (3.3 ft) high and 3 W nominal power output. Designed mainly to bring energy to off-grid locations for low-power systems, working along with solar panels. Stage: pre-production of a first beta series. Vortex Tacoma – 2.75 metres (9.0 ft) high and 100 W nominal power output. Designed mainly for small-scale residential ...
The turbine had two blades, 175 feet (53 m) in diameter, on the down-wind side of a 120-foot (37 m)-foot steel lattice tower. Each blade was approximately 8 feet (2.4 m) wide and 66 feet (20 m) long, and weighed eight tons. The blades were built on steel spars and covered with a stainless steel skin.
The NASA/GE MOD-1 wind turbine in Boone, North Carolina was the world's first turbine to produce 2 MW. NASA contracted with General Electric in 1978 to scale up from the MOD-0A with a 10-fold increase in power. The Mod-1 was the first wind turbine in the world to produce 2 megawatts and also General Electric's first wind turbine.
