Southampton to help boost the wind energy sector by improving the reliability of wind turbines
- 21 November 2013
The University of Southampton is a key partner in the European-wide WINDTRUST project, which aims to enhance the wind energy sector by improving turbine reliability.
The effectiveness of wind energy generation depends on wind turbine reliability and the ability to minimise down-times. WINDTRUST, which started last month, will meet this objective of improving the competitiveness of the wind energy sector by further enhancing the design of three key components: the rotor blades, the power electronics and the wind turbine controller.

MVHR system provides 'earthly' delights
- 24 September 2013
Architect Sandy Hickey is no stranger to the benefits of an MVHR system, which is why she specified the latest energy efficient version from ADM Systems for refurbishment of her parents ‘earth-sheltered’ home in the Cotswolds.
The design of the home is 'a rectangle with a circle cut-out' - a curved frontage of glass facing south, along with windows to the three other sides - bringing in light from all directions. This property is unusual in a number of ways because most of the insulation is on top of the build like a thermal 'umbrella' that extends three metres past the sides. The house is built into a hillside, allowing the earth above and the sides to protect it from the heat of summer and cold of winter, saving on heating and cooling costs in the process.
