Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) installed in cold regions are prone to risking ice collisions, leading to potential damage of the support structure. It is imperative to quantitatively investigate the ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an observer-based method to control nonlinear large-scale wind turbines to reduce structural loads while maintaining the rotor speed and extracted power in wind speed ...

Abstract: New grid codes require wind turbines to ride-through grid faults. This poses great challenges for the design of both electrical system and mechanical structure of wind turbines. The purpose ...

This pv magazine Webinar will address solar project risks related to high winds, hail, snow, and flooding conditions. Solar facilities are faced with various weather-related risks that can cause ...

Prompt site assessment of wind damage from major storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes is a crucial step in determining the extent of property loss. The assessment of wind damage is important for ...

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) often operate in complex marine environments, where they are not only subjected to wind and wave loads, but also adversely affected by scour. Therefore, it is of great ...
