Wind speed increases in pedestrian-level spaces around high-rise buildings tend to cause uncomfortable and even unsafe wind conditions for pedestrians. Especially, instantaneous strong winds can have a significant impact on the body sensation of pede...

Many Caribbean low-latitude small island states lack wind maps tailored to capture their wind features at high resolutions. However, high-resolution mesoscale modeling is computationally expensive. This study proposes a statistical–dynamical do...

Wind power plays an increasingly vital role in sustainable energy development. However, accurately simulating wind turbine aerodynamics, particularly in offshore wind farms, remains challenging due to complex environmental factors such as the marine...

This paper explores the potential of Airborne Wind Energy Systems to revolutionize wind energy generation, demonstrating advancements over current methods. Through a series of controlled field experiments and the application of classical machine lear...

Wind power output fluctuations, driven by variable wind speeds, create significant challenges for grid stability and the efficient use of wind turbines, particularly in high-wind-penetration areas. This study proposes a combined approach utilizing an...

Blade leading edge erosion (LEE) is a persistent challenge in the wind industry, resulting in reduced aerodynamic efficiency and increased maintenance costs, with an estimated total expense of GBP 1.3M over a 25-year turbine lifetime. To mitigate the...

The introduction of a significant industrial carbon price in Alberta, Canada, has precipitated major changes in its electricity market, both for fossil fuel generators, which has resulted in a rapid transition from coal to natural gas, as well as for...

The current technological developments within the offshore wind industry reveal a trend towards larger wind turbine MW-classes for both bottom-fixed and floating support structures. Furthermore, bottom-fixed designs are modified and enhanced to also...
