The coal-fired Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset, Massachusetts was the largest coal-fired generating station in New England until it was retired on June 1, 2017. The massive plant set on a ...
As wind turbines continue to grow taller and more powerful, the challenge of installing them has become an engineering problem in its own right. Chinese construction equipment manufacturer Zoomlion ...
AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — If you’ve driven on the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway in Portsmouth recently, you may have been asking what those tall towers at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal are. More ...
The WindSpider design doesn't, since it builds its own little scaffold around the tower, section by section, and mounts the small crane unit directly to that. This means the system works with any old ...
Namibia’s new wind farm avoids giant cranes to build taller turbines. Discover how this self-lifting tech changes clean ...
Vertical turbines, that harness wind energy to generate power are typically called air turbines or modern air mills. These devices create turbulence through a series of feathers, or streamlines, that ...
You won’t be surprised to read that Iowa is big farm country. If you’ve ever driven through the state, you doubtless noticed the vast expanses of land given over to agriculture. By some estimates, ...

A big engineering challenge for remote clean energy projects was solved in Namibia. Nabrawind, ...
China installed the world's largest single-unit floating wind turbine in May 2026. Here's why the Three Gorges Pilot rewrites ...
Well, you can understand why offshore wind still looks so expensive compared to other renewables. The solution, according to a few innovative companies, is to more or less make these turbine towers ...
AMES, Iowa – Hydraulic equipment in two civil engineering labs recently pushed and pulled at test sections of a new kind of wind turbine tower, simulating the heavy, twisting loads that towers have to ...
