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 ...
High above the streets of Yibin City in southwest China, a helium-filled airship shaped like a streamlined Zeppelin has ...
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 ...
The world’s largest wind turbine—currently being tested off the coast of China—has blades that are more than twice as long as a Boeing 777’s wingspan. It can generate 26 megawatts (MW) of energy, more ...
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.
