Current & Emerging Wind Power Technology detail page

As global wind power capacity approaches the 300GW mark, one could be forgiven for thinking that the technology is fully mature, settled and slow in its pace of change. However just when you thought the 3-bladed, horizontal-axis turbine would remain the standard forever, 2-bladed designs, multi-MW vertical designs and other prototypes and innovations spring up. Within the turbines, new materials, internal components and structures appear; aiming to solve problems from conversion efficiency to operational reliability. This time-effective 2-day course provides an excellent introduction to the key aspects of current wind technology, its limitations, the current trends and the emerging and future directions.
