We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Renewable Energy",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Compressor development to revolutionise wind power from
Ricardo, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ricardo is helping General Compression and Mechanology to develop technology that aims to make wind power as reliable as conventional power".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Europe to rule the waves from
Frost and Sullivan: "Combined with intensifying company activity in this field, Europe is poised to be the place to watch in the marine energy arena of the future".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Opal-RT Technologies
concerning its eMEGAsim
- take a look at Simulator speeds power system analysis
which says: "eMEGAsim is designed to meet the real-time simulation and testing needs of engineers and researchers across the power generation industry".
Take a look also at the news release from Lafert Electric Motors, Future developments for electric motors,
as well as Technology slashes nitrogen levels from Sturman Industries,
and Bearings meet wind power needs from Rodriguez (UK).
