Test center for mega wind turbines opens in Denmark
An answer to the world’s need for more renewable energy is to develop larger wind turbines that produce significantly more energy. To achieve exactly this, Denmark inaugurates a test centre that can make the next generation of mega wind turbines a reality. The first wind turbine to be tested measures 197 meters, but the facility … Continue reading Test center for mega wind turbines opens in Denmark
