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, ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers describe a real-time method for potentially helping turbine farms realize additional power from the clustering of their turbines. Their method requires no new sensors to identify which ...
