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 ...
More than 40% of existing and planned offshore wind farm sites in Europe and Asia are being exposed to wind speeds above the maximum design load of some classes of turbine, according to a study in ...
For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...
Since 2012, global wind power generation capacity has nearly quadrupled. As technologies have matured and costs have come down, wind energy has been embraced by countries across the globe. But ...
German wind turbine maker Nordex Group today debuted a 5-megawatt (MW) wind turbine for the US market that “significantly increases yield” in lower wind speeds. Nordex’s new onshore wind turbine, ...
