A new method provides a more realistic description of loads on large-scale wind turbines than was previously possible. A team ...

US wind jumped 49% in 2025 and could hit 11 GW in 2026 as demand rises, despite permitting delays and higher costs.

Scientists from the University of Oldenburg, in collaboration with engineering and manufacturing partners, have developed a more precise model to predict the mechanical forces acting on wind turbine ...

“This cycle continues and worsens until it is addressed during maintenance by retorquing the bolts to reapply enough compression to the yaw bearing. Eventually, the components wear and fatigue to the ...

Offshore wind turbines, particularly floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs), operate in highly dynamic and often severe marine environments where extreme loads induced by wind, waves and currents can ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Passing motorists were shocked by the sight of a massive transporter that rolled while carrying a component for Kaiwaikawe wind farm. Video / Megan Sneddon Investigations are underway after a ...

There is a trend churning in the wind power industry; it involves upgrading wind turbines with newer, more powerful generation systems. Thanks to higher-capacity turbines and more efficient components ...

Uncover the strengths and weaknesses of solar and wind energy in a balanced analysis. Understand their impact on sustainability and informed decision-making.

AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...
