  • Wind Turbine DesignPrimary objective in wind turbine design is to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency, or power extracted from the wind. But this objective should be met by well satisfying mechanical strength criteria and economical aspects. In this video we will see impact of number of blades, blade shape, blade length and tower height on wind turbine design.
  • Modelling Complex Mechanical Structures with SimMechanicsModeling physical components or systems in Simulink® typically involves a tradeoff between simulation speed and model fidelity or complexity: the higher the fidelity of the model, the greater the effort needed to create it..
  • Biomass Energy Vs. Natural GasIn 2009, natural gas prices plunged to below $4 per MMBtu where many "Experts" are saying that prices will remain low for decades as a result of technology break-throughs allowing for sizable increases in natural gas supply for North America. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) just released data projections reflecting this potential increased supply in natural gas.

DECC survey reveals massive support for onshore wind compared to nuclear and fracking

Posted by Sohail Azad On 08:17

The so-called 'wave 9' survey of public attitudes to energy technologies published today by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) shows just how out of step with the public the Conservatives have become in their policies. As detailed below, the Government's survey shows that the public is much more supportive of onshore wind - the technology they are determined to curb - compared to the technologies to which they want to give incentives, namely nuclear power and shale gas. The Conservatives...

Will Hinkley C be approved by the European Commission?

Posted by Sohail Azad On 04:33

Stories of desperate lobbying by Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) Minister Michael Fallon are emerging as he struggles to justify the Hinkley C deal to the European Commission. In recent times Michael Fallon has variously been reported annoying both renewable energy interest groups by asking them to support the application to the EU Commission for state-aid to Hinkley C and annoying the Scottish Government.

Are Tory plans to curb onshore wind a boost for Scottish Yes Vote?

Posted by Sohail Azad On 01:26

You would almost think that the Government's, especially the Conservative's, succession of energy policy announcements over the past 10 months were almost designed to boost the 'Yes' campaign in the Scottish Referendum on independence. More support for the policy that the Scottish Government does not like (new nuclear power) and less support for the policy they want (renewables). What timing as well!First, in the summer of 2013 came an announcement of 'strike prices' for renewables that were underpinned...
