Wind power has always been a trade off between clean energy and the visual, acoustic, and ecological cost of giant spinning ...

There are several operational factors and requirements that have guided design and development of composite wind turbine blades over the last 20 years. The most important factors and requirements are ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

The design and optimisation of offshore wind farms have become pivotal in reducing capital expenditure and maximising energy yield in the renewable energy sector. Recent advances focus on optimising ...

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 ...

Download this article in PDF format. Wind turbines larger than 6 MW are becoming common, particularly for offshore installations, where consolidating several smaller wind turbines into one large ...
