Each year a panel reviews papers nominated from the past two years and selects an article of high significance. The paper, published in 2022, describes the first experimental implementation of Model ...

Unfortunately, wind is an intermittent resource and as a result voltage fluctuations can occur. A sudden gust of wind can course momentary dips in voltage. VARs (volt-amps reactive) are a measure of ...

Wide variations in speed and load, changing wind direction, climatic extremes and limited space inside nacelles conspire to reduce wind turbine availability and increase maintenance costs. The primary ...

Wind power has become one of the pillars of the global energy transition, yet the basic silhouette of the modern turbine, a tall tower with three sweeping blades, has barely changed in decades. Now a ...

In order for wind turbines to function effectively across wide ranges of wind conditions, you’ll need what’s known as blade pitch control. Lucy Pao, the Palmer Endowed Chair Professor in the ...
