Wind, Volume 3, Issue 4

One of the sources of sustainable energy with great, still untapped potential is wind power. One way to harness such potential is to develop technology for offshore use, more specifically at high depths with floating turbines. It is always critical t...

Wind power, as a vital renewable power source, has undergone rapid developments in recent years [...]

Offshore floating wind foundations supporting a large wind turbine require a large yard facility or significant facility upgrades for their fabrication. To overcome the cost increase associated with facility upgrades, an innovative lightweight modula...

Wind power forecasting is pivotal in promoting a stable and sustainable grid operation by estimating future power outputs from past meteorological and turbine data. The inherent unpredictability in wind patterns poses substantial challenges in synchr...

Wind energy is an important renewable energy source. Rotor main bearings are critical components of wind turbines since a faulty main bearing leads to downtime and high repair costs. Operational expenditures amount to 32% of wind energy costs. The us...

The global supply of energy is still tight, even with the rise of renewable energy utilization and abundant wind energy. More and more large wind farms have been installed globally. As of 2020, China’s total installed capacity accounted for 38....

In this paper, the NWT600 airfoil with a thickness ratio of 60% is taken as the research object. The aerodynamic performance of the airfoil is analyzed by experiments and numerical simulations. The results simulated by various turbulence models used...

Liquid fossil fuel is anticipated to run out by the mid-2060s. The destruction of land, water, and air due to fossil fuel use contributes to environmental degradation. Policymakers, scientists, and researchers are looking into power generation from r...

The present paper investigates the fundamental characteristics of wind loading on vaulted (cylindrical) free roofs based on a wind tunnel experiment and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). In the wind tunn...
