Wind power generation represents one of the most cost economically competitive renewable energy sources today. Power Engineering and PEI magazines provide coverage of wind turbine technology and wind power generation issues.
Wind turbine technology was the focus of a recent Power Engineering feature article (March 2006)
View article. The article pointed out that for wind energy to compete with mainstream power, turbine output must be increased. This will require longer, more efficient blades. Technology improvements in the area of fiber-reinforced polymer composites will make this possible.
Wind power installations are on the rise in the United States, but the industry still faces challenges, according to another feature story (May 2006)
View article. The U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute joined forces to help wind power succeed, and today the two continue to work to help the industry overcome hurdles through the Wind Turbine Verification Program.
