Warming may boost ground winds but reduce those at turbine height in the Middle East, cutting wind energy output.

With a hub height of 185 meters (606 feet) – equivalent to a 63-story skyscraper – the single 26-megawatt (MW) turbine can ...

In the remote and hostile realm of the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica, powerful winds known as low-level jets (LLJs) ...

Wind turbines kill a lot of birds, particularly eagles and other raptors. The exact number is unknown, because many of the world’s wind farms don’t monitor bird deaths. One mitigation idea to reduce ...

Ever since the first two-wheelers took to the road, manufacturers have pushed the limits of engineering, chasing ever-higher top speeds in the quest to be number one. With the eventual rise of bikes ...

Abstract: Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines connected to capacitive series-compensated transmission lines are prone to exhibit oscillatory behavior. The phenomena is called ...

Abstract: Ensuring the reliability of wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) is a crucial task for maximizing energy capture from the wind. A detailed model incorporating mechanical and electrical ...
