Smarter wind technology looks to improve turbine workrate
Purdue University doctoral student Jonathan White holds a cross-section of a wind turbine blade, like the one used in research to improve the efficiency of turbines
Article Summary
Clean, renewable energy is freely available – in the form of wind, sun and water. However, harnessing it reliably and cost-effectively remains a barrier. Wind power is one of the fastest growing alternative energy markets and researchers at Purdue University and Sandia National Laboratories in West Lafayette, Indiana, are working to make wind turbines more efficient, reliable and resilient.
