Gottlieb Paludan, a Danish architectural firm, has come up with a revolutionary plan to store green energy which may solve the world energy crisis. The firm has proposed to take the world’s uninhabited islands and turn them into Green Power Islands, in which power would be generated on land through wind or solar — depending upon the climate — and the surrounding water would be used to store the power using pumped hydro. Pumped hydro is an efficient and feasible way…

The internet giant – Google – recently made its first direct large-scale renewable energy investment, contributing roughly $38.8 million in two North Dakota wind farms with a combined capacity of 169.5 megawatts (MW). The wind farms are being developed by NextEra Energy Resources – a division of the FPL Group and the largest wind power provider in the US. The wind farms will use present transmission capacity, and will generate enough energy to…

UK-based Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has disclosed its plans to develop the world’s largest indoor infrastructure capable of deploying and testing next-generation offshore wind turbines. The test-rig will allow turbines to be examined onshore and indoors before being taken offshore, which will help to lower electricity costs and decrease technical risks associated with mass production. In addition to providing lower overhead costs, the initiative…

Art indeed imitates life as the latest design in vertical axis wind turbines hits prototype testing. Designed by Laura Sink while attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, the Natura Levo – translated Nature Lift, is a state-of-the-art VAWT with two nonconforming blades that are able to catch wind coming from any direction. Inspiration behind the Natura Levo design…
