There are many kinds of renewable energy and not all suitable enough to generate electricity. Some kind of renewable energy that nowday has big atenttion is wind power. To generate electricity from wind we need wind turbine and there are two kinds of wind turbine, which are HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) and VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine). HAWT has enter marketplace and many country on sub-tropical area has install this technology to produce electricity with clean and environment-safe method. That because HAWT promise the high efficiency and have big installing capacity (~ Megawatt electric). Continue Reading »
