Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum gust wind speed is reported. This single number is often readily ...

Windcatcher, a radical design in offshore wind turbines has won a US$107 million award to build a demonstrator facility in ...

our average wind speed is too low to make them spin fast enough to generate significant amounts of electricity. At least that ...

fine dust particles were introduced from the upper section of the wind tunnel at a wind speed of 5 m/s. Four identical PV panels, measuring 670 mm in length and 350 mm in width, were placed in a r ...

The Food Service and inspection Service of the USDA has announced that it is extending its modified poultry line speed waivers so a study measuring the impact of increased line speeds on worker ...

Abstract: Effective control of the generator’s shaft speed will ensure maximum power is captured from the wind turbines. However ... and inductance were changed without changing the control design to ...

Renzo Piano’s Dragonfly Wind Turbine, with two blades, in partnership with ENEL Green Power, marries clean design to nature’s efficiencies. In Pisa, it also has been put to the proof to prove to all ...

South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean has secured an Approval in Principle (AIP) from DNV for the preliminary front-end engineering design (Pre-FEED) of its floating offshore wind turbine platform. The floating ...

Students will be able to use the wind tunnels to investigate aerodynamics and test forces on their aircraft design ... installing a new bespoke high-speed impact tester that can model the impact ...

As the air descends, it dries further and accelerates in speed. Wind speeds can increase further as they funnel through the valleys and gorges in the area, much like water increases its speed as ...

“Externally mounted sensors significantly increase aerodynamic drag, particularly by increasing the proportion of interference drag within the total aerodynamic drag,” study author Yiping Wang said.
