The latest wind power news headlines, syndicated by rss from a variety of wind energy and industry news sources.


Getting 10-MW from a wind turbine will take a permanent-magnet generator with four independent sections, a gearbox lighter than those on smaller turbines, a 150-m diameter rotor, and more.

The 10 MW Britannia will come from Clipper Windpower.

A 10 MW offshore turbine is in the works that addresses the growing demand for reliable and efficient offshore wind energy. Over its lifetime, each Britannia from Clipper Windpower is expected to displace the use of two-million barrels of oil and offset the need to dispel 724,000

tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. It will initially deploy in European waters.

The 10 MW design is an evolution of Clipper’s 2.5 MW wind-turbine architecture introduced in 2003. The overall design concepts were introduced by Jim Dehlsen, a pioneer in the wind energy industry for more than 30 years, as well as an experienced wind engineering team that had been involved in the development of four generations of wind turbines –ranging in size from early 550 kW turbines up to the 1.5 MW models.
