The Archimedes, a research and development firm based in Netherlands released the Liam F1, a turbine they claim carries a yield of 80 percent. Presently, turbines have a maximum
READ MOREType 1 (WT1G1): Limited Variable Speed. Squirrel-cage Induction Generator (SCIG) connected directly to the step up transformer. The turbine speed is fixed (or nearly fixed) to the electrical grid frequency. It generates real power (P) when the turbine shaft rotates faster than the electrical grid frequency creating a negative slip (positive

READ MOREThe general rule-of-thumb for wind farm spacing is that turbines are about 7 rotor diameters away from each other. So an 80-meter (262-foot) rotor would need to be 560 meters -- more than a third of a mile -- from adjacent turbines. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have proposed that twice as much spacing would increase overall
