With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative ...

Wind power generation in the U.S. is enjoying favorable winds. First, the cost of wind turbine installations has dropped by over one-third since 2010 as the capacity of turbines increased. Next, ...

Problems with wind turbines are rare. But if one does catch fire or blades break and fly off in a storm, it tends to be headline news. This can not only damage the reputations of wind turbine ...

Nikhar Abbas (PhDMechEngr’22) is taking his research on wind turbine control systems to the international stage. Abbas received the 2023 European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE) Excellent Young Wind ...

Robust control of reactive power and voltage is crucial for the stable and efficient operation of wind farms, particularly as renewable penetration increases worldwide. Contemporary strategies ...

This work deals with an analytical linear coupled model describing the integrated aero-hydrodynamics of floating offshore wind turbines. Three degrees of freedom (platform surge, platform pitch and ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 45, No. 5 (October 2021), pp. 1206-1221 (16 pages) In this paper, a theory and practice-based research is conducted using real data, in order to increase the efficiency of a ...

Researchers describe a real-time method for potentially helping turbine farms realize additional power from the clustering of their turbines. Their method requires no new sensors to identify which ...
