This research presents a comparative analysis of criteria weighting and multi-criteria decision-making methods in the framework of onshore wind farm siting. Nine criteria weighting and four multi-criteria decision-making ranking methods, constituting...
This study presents an integrated framework for offshore wind resource assessment and wind farm micrositing in the Northern Aegean Sea of Türkiye by combining machine learning-assisted measure–correlate–predict (MCP) modelling, long-...
Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) could be a good alternative to horizontal axis turbines for offshore applications. However, the variability of the aerodynamic forces with the blade azimuthal position subjects the blade to fatigue stresses and gen...
Conventional vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) rely on rigid blades that are heavy and require expensive materials and manufacturing processes to withstand aerodynamic loads. This study explores flexible sail-type blades as a low-cost alternative c...
As de-icing and anti-icing blade heating systems for wind turbines continue to mature, operators have developed a clearer understanding of both their benefits and their limitations. This growing operational experience has increased the need for warra...
This study evaluates the effects of sampling interval and averaging period on the assessment of extreme synoptic-scale mean wind speeds for structural design, excluding hurricanes and mesoscale events, to focus on correction factors for the standard...
This study evaluates the offshore wind resource along the Mauritanian Atlantic coast, focusing on ten offshore zones and hub heights up to 100 m. The primary objective is to characterize the spatial variability of the wind resource and provide a prel...
Flux-modulating machines are emerging as noteworthy machines, particularly in wind turbines. Due to their brushless medium-speed operations, they can be deployed for applications where reliability is a critical factor. Two popular machines in this ca...
Wind turbine blade defect detection in complex environments is challenged by weak defect features, missed crack detections, and false detections caused by background interference. To address these problems, this study proposes an improved YOLOv8n-bas...
Boundary-layer atmospheric stability, wind-shear variability, and thermodynamic forcing are all important factors for the initiation, intensification, and transport of dust storms. But there is limited knowledge of the quantitative evaluation of bulk...
The increasing global demand for clean energy has established wind power as a leading solution for sustainable electricity generation. The efficiency and reliability of wind turbines are strongly influenced by blade design, which governs both aerodyn...
This study investigates how offshore wind farm layout geometry influences farm-level performance using a computationally efficient Jensen–Park wake model combined with directionally resolved Weibull wind-speed statistics. A fixed-capacity 1.8 G...
Extreme wind speed events pose a significant threat to structural safety and are an important consideration in the design of the growing renewable energy sectors. This study models extreme wind speeds in Namibia by applying Extreme Value Theory (EVT)...
The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) dominates the wind energy market, yet its direct stator-to-grid connection makes it vulnerable to grid faults, creating a tension between hardware self-protection and grid-code fault ride-through (FRT) compli...
Accurate modeling of wind turbine power curves is essential for performance assessment, energy forecasting, condition monitoring, and operational optimization in wind energy systems. This study presents a SCADA-based comparative assessment of establi...
Understanding wind direction (WD) variability and vertical directional shear is critical for aviation safety, particularly during landing when aircraft are highly sensitive to abrupt wind changes. This study analyzes the temporal behavior of WD and l...
High-sided vehicle safety on exposed long-span bridges depends on local wind direction as well as wind speed. Using a previously validated full-scale computational fluid dynamics model of the Queensferry Crossing Bridge, this study presents a two-sta...
In order to reduce aviation’s negative environmental effects and support international efforts to battle climate change, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) seeks to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. About 2–3% of the w...
The success of wind energy projects depends on reliable site selection and cost-effective operation. Existing studies largely focus on either resource potential or standalone economic feasibility, while a unified wind power rating framework for site...
With the advancement of China’s “dual carbon” targets, Desert–Gobi–Wilderness (DGW) regions have become strategic areas for large-scale renewable energy deployment. However, the intermittency and variability of wind and...
This study presents the results of a one-month validation campaign focused on wind field reconstruction using a dual-scanning LiDAR configuration. The measurement campaign was conducted inland, approximately 6 km from the Thracian Sea coast in northe...
Offshore wind is expanding globally, driven by energy security and decarbonization goals. Brazil’s world-class potential for this resource is challenged by its unique context: an already clean electricity matrix and abundant, low-cost onshore a...
