A Smart Wind Turbine Sees the Wind Coming… Catch the Wind’s pulsed laser wind sensors give you the capability to see wind speed and direction at a distance. When mounted on top of a utility scale wind turbine, the Vindicator® laser wind sensor (LWS) pulses three eye-safe lasers through the blades and measures the wind at multiple distances out to 300 meters (984 ft.) With feed-forward wind data, each turbine can follow the wind as it continuously shifts. By staying in alignment with the wind, wind turbines will generate more power and will require less maintenance and down-time. The Vindicator® LWS is an exciting, game-changing product that has great potential to revolutionize how the wind energy industry operates, improving the efficiency and reliability of wind turbines. Catch the Wind is located in Manassas, VA outside of Washington, DC and is focused on making wind energy a more profitable and competitive global energy resource.

Alexandria Nicole wind turbines
This week’s Winecast visits Destiny Ridge Vineyard, the 263-acre estate planting for Alexandria Nicole Cellars in the Horse Heaven Hills near Paterson, Wash. Jarrod and Ali Boyle, who own and operate Alexandria Nicole, recently installed 20 Windspire wind turbines to generate electricity. According to a Windspire official, ANC is the first Northwest winery to use the 30-foot-tall machines.

Need for Wind to Power South Africa
(www.abndigital.com) South Africa depends on coal for 88% of its electricity needs, and because it is an internationally traded commodity, coal imposes a price risk on taxpayers. But experts believe the country could accelerate its energy programme and other deliverable if South Africa adopted a wind power programme. Joining us on the need to put wind in the sails of South Africa’s energy programme is Dr Eddie O’Connor, CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power.

Wind Turbines Causing Health Problems
Wind Farms Are Making People Sick “Wind Turbine Syndrome” Wind energy is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Its billed as clean, green, renewable. In this engagingly written, peer-reviewed report by a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine trained MD and Princeton (Population Biology) Ph.D., we discover wind energys dirty little secret. Many people living within 2 km (1.25 miles) of these spinning giants get sick. So sick that they often abandon (as in, lock the door and leave) their homes. Nobody wants to buy their acoustically toxic homes. The lucky ones get quietly bought out by the wind developers—who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that Wind Turbine Syndrome exists. (And yet the wind developers thoughtfully include a confidentiality clause in the sales agreement, forbidding their victim from discussing the matter further.)
