Solar PV capacity will overtake wind within five years, according to a new forecast, but wind power generation will outpace that of solar. More than 85% of new non-hydropower renewable capacity will be installed in just ten markets, over the next decade, but expansion will also be supported by a…...

In recent years, there has been significant increase in wind power generation capacity in India, contributed by many leading wind turbine manufacturers in India. The Indian Wind Energy Association has predicted that the present level of technology, the ‘on-shore’ potential for utilization of wind energy for electricity generation is nearly…...

Brussels, 11 February: The latest data released by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) shows Africa and the Middle East installed 962MW capacity of onshore wind power in 2018, an increase of more than 300MW compared to 2017. The preview data from GWEC’s Global Wind Report forecasts that a further…

– The company is to install a total of 63 wind turbines in seven wind farms located in Navarra, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Málaga and Cádiz – All the agreements include operation and maintenance services – With these contracts, Siemens Gamesa has sold 1.2 GW in Spain since the end of 2017,…

The latest data released by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) shows North, Central and South America has installed 11.9GW capacity of wind power in 2018, an increase of 12% on last year. In North America (Canada and USA) new capacity additions grew by 10.8% compared to 2017. In Latin…

Glasgow Airport is now benefiting from a state-of-the-art radar system upgrade as a direct result of a new nearby onshore wind farm. Due to go live in by the spring of 2019, Banks Renewables’ Kype Muir Wind Farm near Strathaven, South Lanarkshire is a 26-turbine ultra-efficient development with the capability…

GWEC releases new data showing impact of retrospective changes to Feed-in-Tariffs (FiT) in other markets and the costly consequences that could face Taiwan The offshore wind industry could bring some NT$880bn of inward investment into Taiwan by 2025 and create some 20,000 jobs Proposed reduction in FiT of 12.7% and…

The 10 MW rating is made possible through a larger generator diameter, building on the proven SGRE Direct Drive generator technology. By increasing the rotor diameter to 193 meters, this new wind turbine offers up to 30% more AEP than its predecessor, the SG 8.0-167 DD. Its 94-meter-long-blades provide a…

Wind turbines are designed to generate energy, not store it. When winds are sufficient, the power goes straight to the transmission grid. But if the grid gets more energy than it can handle, electricity prices drop and turbines are shut down. The reverse is also an issue. When winds are…
