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 ...

Maintenance on a wind turbine hub can be exciting, but also somewhat dangerous and a bit exhausting, as all the equipment and tools must be carried up (and down) hundreds of feet. Making pitch ...

Wide variations in speed and load, changing wind direction, climatic extremes and limited space inside nacelles conspire to reduce wind turbine availability and increase maintenance costs. The primary ...

A new method provides a more realistic description of loads on large-scale wind turbines than was previously possible. A team ...

When most of today’s wind projects were developed, first costs were the focus; operations and maintenance (O&M) costs were largely unknown. Now, with hundreds of turbine models in operation—sometimes ...

Active wind turbine control aims to cut bird deaths by 80% By Loz Blain September 11, 2023 Norwegian researchers say they've found a potential way to cut down the numbers of birds killed by wind ...

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 ...

Each turbine in a wind farm is equipped with a step-up transformer, which boosts (steps up) turbine generator output voltage from a few hundred volts to the collector system’s medium voltage ...

In a boost to non-conventional energy generation, the Central Board of Excise and Customs on Tuesday issued a notification clarifying that parts such as tower, nacelle, rotor, blades and wind turbine ...
