Manufacturing costs and logistics are two challenges to rapidly integrating more renewable energy into the U.S. power system. This is especially true for tall land-based wind turbines, but Colorado-based Keystone Tower Systems is changing how wind turbines can be manufactured, transported, and installed. Taller land-based wind turbines harness and generate more power than shorter ones, […]

Golden eagles, like many raptors, know how to take the path of least resistance. When they spread their wings and take to the skies, they typically look for updrafts (upward pushes of air) to assist their flight, letting them soar to greater altitudes without expending much energy. However, those updrafts and associated high winds are […]

Height is might when it comes to wind turbine towers. The taller they are, the more energy they can harness. Transporting massive tower components to their installation sites is logistically challenging and costly, but GE Renewable Energy has a solution: 3-D printing the base of the concrete tower on site, making tall wind turbines easier […]

Bat Appreciation Day is April 17, and as we pause to admire these unique creatures, we also recognize that bats face many threats, including increased deployment of wind energy. However, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are working hard to create […]
