A new computational study shows that capping the open tips of helical J-shaped blades boosts vertical-axis wind turbine ...

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl got the go-ahead to test its 1 megawatt (MW) S2X vertical-axis floating offshore prototype in Norway. In March 2022, Norway’s Ministry of Energy gave approval to ...

Swedish wind turbine maker SeaTwirl announced today that it’s gotten its first commercial order for its vertical-axis floating wind turbine. The purchase is for a new vertical-axis floating wind ...

Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). This video focuses on the innovative ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

A consortium of companies in Japan is proceeding to the next phase of a project sponsored by the Japanese government to test the feasibility of large-scale floating vertical axis wind turbines. They ...

Swedish floating wind technology firm SeaTwirl AB (STO:STW) is partnering with Australian company Hunter Floating Offshore ...

Swedish floating wind innovator may build a 20 MW demonstration project in Australia using its unique vertical-axis turbines.

A new “vertical axis” wind turbine (VAWT) that takes up less space than normal turbines—and is supposed to be safer for birdlife—could step in where regular turbines are proving impractical. The ...

A consortium of Japanese companies is working to develop a new concept in floating offshore wind turbines that they report will be easier to manufacture while also costing less to build and maintain.

If you imagine an industrial wind turbine, you likely picture the windmill design, technically known as a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). But the very first wind turbines, which were developed in ...
