the data of the local wind environment on the bridge deck can be directly obtained. Currently, the research on wind characteristics in mountain area is mainly around bridge sites, few investigations directly focus on the wind environment in the driving height on the bridge deck. For this...
(Automotive Engineering) an internal-combustion engine in which the expanding gases emerging from one or more combustion chambers drive a turbine. A rotary compressor driven by the turbine compresses the air used for combustion, power being taken either as torque from the turbine or thrust from th...
1, UK Electricity Sources (2018)), providing 40% of the overall contribution. However, renewables now provide the second largest contribution at 29% of the total supply. Within the types of renewable energy, wind power (both onshore and offshore) provides the largest source of electricity, ...
The calculation of the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) load cases is an important step in the design process of sub-structures for o shore wind turbines. For such cases, normally, a set of sea state characteristics are chosen from the long term data or hind cast simulations based on a target ...
In efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energies have been increasingly leveraged to generate power; in particular, the number of wind turbines has risen sharply in recent years and continues to grow. However, being mechanically coupled to the earth, wind turbines also generate groun...
A nuclear reactor is a device used to initiate and control a fission nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in nuclear marine propulsion. When a fissile nucleus like uranium-235 or plutoni
There are two main types of solar panels that can be utilized on boats: Flexible and fixed, which come in a variety of different sizes and power wattages. Depending on factors like usage and the size and type of your boat, the best marine solar panel will vary. To come up with our ...
wind turbine materialsModern wind turbines are fatigue-critical machines that are typically used to produce electrical power from the wind. The materials used to construct these machines are subjected to a unique loading spectrum that contains several orders of magnitude more cycles than other fatigue-...
(i.e., the energy of motion) into electricity. On Earth, dynamos are found in power plants where, for example, the energy from wind or flowing water is used to cause turbines to rotate. In the Sun, the source of kinetic energy is the churning of turbulent layers of ionized gas within...
