US To Invest In Research Of Wind Turbines
31/Aug/2006: Wind power represents the fastest growing segment of the world's energy markets, and this rapid growth has led to a significant increase in the power rating and size of wind turbines.
Large turbines currently being developed for on-shore and off-shore applications offer economies for utility-scale wind farms, further lowering the cost and environmental impact of creating significant sources of alternative energy.
With blade lengths of 60 meters or greater and tower heads often weighing more than 450 tons, shipping, installing and maintaining larger turbines is becoming a serious challenge.
By providing solutions to the wind industry's current challenges, Northern Power (US Reasearch Grid) hopes that large-scale wind turbines will make a more significant contribution to meeting America's growing energy needs. US is likey to invest 750000$ into reaserching wind turbines.
