A new artificial intelligence has been developed that could boost wind turbine efficiency by around 0.3 percent, New Scientist reported. While this doesn’t sound like a lot, if all wind turbines worldwide received the software upgrade, it would generate enough extra power to provide electricity to a modestly-sized country.
The main problem with wind turbines (besides their arguable sustainability) is that they need to face directly into the wind to provide maximum output. At present, this is very tricky to achieve as wind turbine nacelles are heavy and unwieldy things.
Most wind turbines…
