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 ...

The University of Maine is contributing to the global effort to improve floating machines to harness wind over deeper offshore waters. Researchers envision turbine platforms floating in the ocean ...

Wind turbines are exposed unprotected to all weather events that occur. Today's turbines are unable to react adequately to events with rapid changes in wind speed and direction, often resulting in ...

The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread ...

Wind turbines may seem innocuous enough, but they have the potential to reshape the air birds fly through. In a recent Scientific Reports paper, researchers found that a gliding bird’s lift-to-drag ...

The world’s first 20 megawatt (MW) wind turbine was successfully installed in the waters ...

On Tuesday evening, the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District will provide an additional look at how exactly the offshore wind project slated for waters roughly 20 miles west of ...

These remarkable modular wind turbines stack themselves up section by section, removing the need for gigantic cranes and promising to slash the cost of offshore wind installation by as much as half.
