The turbine was tested in the French laboratories of the National Institute for the Exploitation of Marine Resources. Its particular variable geometry makes it ideal to take advantage of any turbulent water stream. With no dams or large infrastructure, the WindCity turbine uses the variable geometry of water flows to produce clean energy. WindCity’s hydrokinetic

With more than 1.1 billion people in the world without access to electricity, any proposal to reverse the trend adds up. And that is what a team of German experts is proposing, which has found a low-cost system that could provide energy to at least a quarter of that population. Specifically, the one that lives

A fantastic European project: In its first year of testing, the SR2000 tidal turbine generated 3 GWh of renewable energy without a hitch in the most extreme conditions. It has weathered Scotland’s worst storms in recent years while producing clean energy efficiently and continuously. We are talking about the SR2000, the most powerful floating tidal

The WaveRoller system consists of a plate anchored to the seabed that oscillates back and forth through a hinge thanks to the movement of the waves.  The kinetic energy produced is collected with a piston pump and converted into electricity by a generator attached to the device or by a closed hydraulic system in combination

There are approximately a total of 530,000 potentially viable pumped hydropower storage sites around the world, with a total storage potential of some 22 million GWh. These staggering figures come from a recently published report by Professor Andrew Blakers and other researchers from the RE100 Group at the Australian National University. Pumped hydroelectric plants already

With the belief that wave energy could meet 10% of global demand by 2050 and that the UK has a lot to say in that field, Wales is in the race to find a viable solution . To do this, efforts are focused on WaveSub, a technology designed and manufactured entirely in the country, with
