Wind turbines are exposed unprotected to all weather events that occur. Today's turbines are unable to react adequately to events with rapid changes in wind speed and direction, often resulting in ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SimScale, the provider of the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation, today released new analysis capabilities for calculating ...

Engineers go to great lengths to maximize the exposure of wind turbines, placing blades atop tall towers on the crests of hills or miles off shore over the wild, unprotected ocean. A new study has ...

Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...

Offshore wind developments are rapidly expanding. But most wind turbines are not built to withstand a direct hit from the strongest hurricanes, according to a new study in Geophysical Research Letters ...

Lake-effect snow dumps localized areas of very heavy snow. The wind direction makes all the difference between a light shoveling and a big dig out at any on spot. Here is how each wind direction ...
