Each year a panel reviews papers nominated from the past two years and selects an article of high significance. The paper, published in 2022, describes the first experimental implementation of Model ...

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 ...

Wind power generation stands at the forefront of renewable energy solutions, harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind to produce electricity that ranges from small turbines for individual homes to ...

The output of wind turbines can rise or fall by 50 per cent in a matter of seconds. Such fluctuations in the megawatt range put a strain on both power grids and the turbines themselves. A new study ...

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 ...
