New Danish Wind Turbine Can "See" Wind & Adjust Direction for Optimum Power Generation

smart wind turbine


Denmark's Riso National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy have announced the world's first successful test on a wind turbine that uses a laser-based anemometer built-into the spinner to adjust the turbine to the oncoming wind in order to increase electricity generation. This new Danish laser technology means that wind turbines are able to ”see” the wind, before it hits the blades. By 'predicting' the wind, the wind turbine can optimize its position and adjust the blades so that the wind is used more efficiently, and the wind turbine lives longer. It is estimated that this will increase the turbine's electricity production by up to 5%.

    I've always been fascinated by wind power in particularly, though alternate energy in general is a great topic. I've wondered for a long time how to get started with it at a small scale. Where can I get good batteries at a reasonable expense?
