"A 'sweet spot' where power generation is maximized against structural strength." Researchers make groundbreaking discovery ...

Insights from a new study from the University of Glasgow demonstrates how smaller-scale wind power generation can scale up ...

A new computational model developed by engineers at Johns Hopkins University's Ralph S. O'Connor Sustainable Energy Institute can accurately predict the power output of wind farms—even those using ...

If we want to obtain 20 percent of our electricity from wind power by 2030, the US is going to need at least 50 gigawatts from offshore wind farms, according to the US Department of Energy.

This review summarizes recent advances in wind speed forecasting using artificial intelligence. It systematically analyzes ...

New MIT rotor aerodynamics model shows 'how to maximise wind turbine power' ... relies on momentum models derived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,” said the MIT engineers in their new paper.

As demand for renewable energy grows, so does the need for more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable wind turbine ...

For turbine design experts, like Griffith, the growing power of offshore wind turbines is exciting — pushing the boundaries of physics. But the speed is also concerning, with massive models ...

The Goldwind model top of the pile is a 5MW machine from the Chinese turbine-making giant’s GW191 range. It is a medium-speed permanent magnet turbine suited to low wind sites with a cut-in wind speed ...

Bryan used this high-resolution model to recreate the worst of the worst — a category-5 hurricane eyewall, where winds can exceed 220 miles per hour — to see how wind turbines would hold up.
