Wind power generation in the U.S. is enjoying favorable winds. First, the cost of wind turbine installations has dropped by over one-third since 2010 as the capacity of turbines increased. Next, ...

With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative ...

Problems with wind turbines are rare. But if one does catch fire or blades break and fly off in a storm, it tends to be headline news. This can not only damage the reputations of wind turbine ...

A new system using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of embedded-control software releases keeps turbines up on the farm For its wind turbine control systems, Siemens’ engineers faced the challenge ...

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 ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 45, No. 5 (October 2021), pp. 1206-1221 (16 pages) In this paper, a theory and practice-based research is conducted using real data, in order to increase the efficiency of a ...

This paper concerns control of the wind turbine by means of its grid-connected electrical generator. Synchronous or induction machines are normally used directly connected to the power network.

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 ...

In order for wind turbines to function effectively across wide ranges of wind conditions, you’ll need what’s known as blade pitch control. Lucy Pao, the Palmer Endowed Chair Professor in the ...
