Technologies: Wind Turbine
Wind power capacity has increased dramatically in the U.S. recently. Wind energy as one the most
important kinds of the renewable energy sources has played a significant role in the growth of the
renewable resources. Because of its characteristics of the environmental-compatibility and also the
economical fuel costs, it has experienced fast development in the recent years. A simple comparison with
about ten years ago, it is perceived that the current technologies of wind turbines have become more
powerful, more efficient and more affordable for power producers. Increasing the wind turbine capacity
and providing more economical technologies have been the main focus of power engineering researchers
and experts in the last years.
While the focus on increasing the power produced from wind turbines may be on the capacity factor,
another way is to make sure wind turbines are operational and available. According to the recent statistical
data, while the onshore wind turbine industry is going strong, USA is looking toward the possibility of
constructing more offshore wind capacity in the near future. The needs of offshore wind production require
different solutions than onshore. RSGC team is dedicated for providing new solutions and ideas to support
the fast growth of wind turbine in both onshore and offshore areas.
