Invenergy bucks wind power’s slump with new $30M

So, what makes Invenergy different? Probably its scale and traction — the company manages the production of about 2,000 megawatts a year, and has a full pipeline of projects at different stages in store for both Europe and the U.S. (which should be greatly helped by the new funds). Claiming to be one of the top five wind providers in the country, it delivers power to both major utilities and energy merchants, and manages its wind farms from early development through day-to-day operation. Other big names in wind power that have fared well include GE Energy, Siemens Wind Power and Vestas.

Wind Power Poised for Significant Growth, says Leading Green Magazine

In 2007, 35% of all the new electricity generation installed in the U.S. – over 5,200 megawatts (MW) – was wind. Its growth is second only to natural gas. Then in September 2008, the U.S. surpassed Germany to lead the world in wind energy production. With rising oil costs, improvements in turbine technology and a more stable public energy policy, U.S. wind energy
production has doubled in just two years

Different Clean Air Technologies

Wind is a renewable energy source that emits no pollution. It is the fastest-growing “green” energy in the U.S. and provides light to the Statue of Liberty. Wind farms—clusters of huge windmills—produce electricity by using the motion of their blades to spin a shaft connected to a generator. Experts estimate that the electricity created in 2006 by America’s wind farms will displace some 15 million tons of carbon dioxide. Over five million acres of forest would be needed to absorb that much CO2. Some people oppose wind farms because they occupy large tracts of land and can sometimes harm birds, but most agree that their environmental costs are much lower than those of fossil fuels.

Turbine project aims to link education, real world

The mission of the spinners is to increase educational awareness of renewable sources of power, said Ruth Douglas Miller, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at K-State. Each machine has a 12-foot diameter and produces two kilowatts, approximately the energy needed to power a hair dryer.

Wind Energy from Ocean Surface

Ideally, offshore wind farms should be situated in locales where winds blow continuously at high speeds. The new research discovers such areas and presents clarifications for the physical mechanisms that produce the high winds.
