The Hunter Project of Mass Megawatts Wind Power has been considerably completed and testing of the new wind augmenter and wind diverter has commenced. This project will be operational after the completion of the initial testing of the new technologies and testing of the furling system. The wind velocity is increased to more than 50% by the wind augmenter resulting in a 3-fold increase in the production of energy. This increase is highlighted in the initial test results. The wind diverter also brings about an additional increase of 100% more power output from the blades.

WINData offers two models of meteorological towers that include the 50M-3 and 60M-3. The 60M-3 meteorological towers is a guyed tower model in an overall diameter of six inches. It has an initial guy tension of 0.7 kilo Newton that eventually increases to a maximum guy tension of 1.8 kilo Newton. The inner and outer guy anchor forces of the 60M-3 meteorological tower are 4.4 kilo Newton and 8.4 kilo Newton, respectively. The maximum tower tube stress in terms of tension is 17.2 Pascal, while in terms of compression the stress increases to 42.1 Pascal.
The offshore wind industry, led by European utilities, is expected to have a significant growth in the next decade with the growth of the global installed base to be approximately 45 GW in the year 2020 as stated by a recent market study from Emerging Energy Research. Emerging Energy Research highlights the offshore developments to be brought about in Asia and North America.
