The next step will be to prove the technology at wind - turbine scale, with blades that can have diameters of up to 400 feet.
A far better near - term choice is wind power, but both wind and solar begin to have another problem at scales at or above that which Clinton is discussing: Since solar panels and wind turbines can't currently work at full capacity 24 hours a day, they require huge advances in energy storage and grid capacity, as well.
As wind turbine technology catches up with the latest solar cell inventions, other research on bird collision risk and marine mammal injury mitigation will complete preparations for larger scale wind - energy projects, just as recent research is also providing evidence of varying bird risks occurring at different heights (and for different species.)
A recently completed wake - steering experiment at the Sandia National Laboratories Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) facility has successfully demonstrated that the wake from an upwind turbine can be steered away from a downwind turbine by yawing the upwind turbine.
The scale of offshore wind has moved from below 3MW per turbine at the start of this decade to a planned 12 - 15MW per turbine proposed for installation by 2024/25, a fivefold increase in 10 years.
Mongolia may have the potential for 1,500 GW of installed solar PV capacity, as calculated in the report, «Costs and benefits of large - scale deployment of wind turbines and solar PV in Mongolia for international power exports,» published in the journal Renewable Energy by Takashi Otsuki, researcher for the Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre (APERC) at the Institute of Energy Economics Japan (IEEJ).
Simple to deploy and operate, WindHelm is at the same time capable of providing the comprehensive services of a large - scale wind farm operations, maintenance and optimization control center across the range of turbine brands.
If capturing and storing carbon dioxide doesn't work at a large scale, many energy experts say, then all the effort to curb carbon emissions through technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels may amount to so much hot air.
These developments have been made at both individual turbine and wind plant scales.
Photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, hydroelectric power stations are more efficient and cost effective at a larger scale than a single building.
As the world leader in offshore wind, Ørsted has a track record of introducing new wind technology at sea, including the latest generations of wind turbines deployed on commercial scale projects:
Here at TreeHugger and over on Planet Green we've covered just about every way to get green energy into your home that you can imagine: Solar panel installation, green energy programs, solar power system leases, small scale wind turbines, micro-hydro power.
Given their potential to both drive down the cost of wind energy and increase the geographical range of feasible sites (floating turbines will be able to operate in much deeper waters than fixed - base turbines), wind energy advocates are beginning to look at larger scale deployment.
The Libellula (dragonfly) wind turbine, designed by the architects at the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) in collaboration with Italy's Enel Green power, could be a viable choice for small - scale electricity generation, with the ability to produce up to 55Kw (sufficient to power up to 15 homes).
Wind turbines can offer viable renewable power generation for a cleaner energy future, but the most efficient of them are not suited to any type of urban or small scale installations, so for many of us, they are at least one step removed from our daily lives.
Abstract: Wind power fluctuations at the turbine and farm scales are generally not expected to be correlated over large distances.
4 Issue 4) that «offshore vertical - axis wind turbines offer the potential for a break through in offshore wind energy availability and reduced life cycle costs due to their design characteristics of few moving parts and the sitting of the generator at the base level potentially allowing large - scale direct drive.
