Abstract: Structural load suppression of wind turbines is one of the important means to improve the economic efficiency of wind farm operation. However, wind turbines are complex systems coupled with ...

Some support structures for offshore wind turbines could fall short of required fatigue life expectations, according to a new report from classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR). As the ...

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) installed in cold regions are prone to risking ice collisions, leading to potential damage of the support structure. It is imperative to quantitatively investigate the ...

Researchers have introduced a more efficient approach to designing wind-resistant high-rise buildings by combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with an enhanced penalty function to dynamically ...

The French engineering and design company Optimax Structures, renowned for its expertise in structural design and optimisation of steel and wooden structures, announces its expansion into the German ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

A group of researchers from South Africa has conducted a full-scale field measurement of the wind load effects on the mounting rail of a PV single-axis tracker. The data was collected over 109 days in ...

Energy expert and assurance provider DNV has released a comprehensive standard for wind turbine load calculations and site assessments, created to guide industry stakeholders. The standard includes ...

As an important structure supporting the wind turbine, the wind power tower is faced with the complex environmental impact of wind load and seismic load during operation. This paper reviews the ...
