Avifaunal impact. This attribute considers four levels and is represented by the amount of birds killed per turbine (for each wind energy scenario) and per plant (for the status-quo). Costs. This attribute has four levels, each considered as proxy levels for plant operation and maintenance and...
This improvement will have an increase in the availability of the turbine, and therefore in energy production. Keywords: condition monitoring; fault detection; machine learning; wind farm Graphical Abstract1. Introduction As a consequence of increasing climate change awareness, research on topics such ...
It should be also noted that there is some discrepancy between the analytical model and the LES data, especially in the region near the turbine (𝑥/𝐷x/D = 4), which has been also reported in previous works based on the Gaussian wake model [10]. This can be explained by the fact...
I am increasingly angry as I watch our northern neighbors in Ontario proceed toward development of industrial wind turbine complexes in sensitive areas at an irresponsible pace. For example just across from Cape Vincent, New York is the nearly 90 turbine complex on Wolfe Island, Ontario. This ind...
Guest "fact checking the fact checkers" by David Middleton Note to fact checking trolls: The featured image is a meme. Look up the word meme before you prattle on about the frozen wind turbine not being in Texas. Also, I have been referring to the freaki
wake model, as it is a single-hat Gaussian-shaped wake model and does not include the effect of the nacelle in the near wake, which leads to significant differences between the proposed model and the actual data, especially in the near wake regions (greater distances from the down turbine)...
wind turbine simulation; atmospheric flow variation; aeroelastic analysis; wind turbine vortex wake; wind turbine blade1. Introduction In recent trends, wind turbines have been growing in size, and to manufacture these large turbine blades at a lower cost, they often adopt a lightweight design ...
offshore wind turbine; wind turbine blade; impact; damage; composite1. Introduction 1.1. Background The recent trends in the offshore wind turbine industry include bigger turbines with large size rotor blades as they increase the rotor swept area and power production, and are thus profitable for...

2.1. Wind Turbine Model A wind sail converts a quantity of air mass energy into movement; during the circulation of the wind in an active surface ( S ) , the power of the air mass ( P ω ) is given by Equation (1) [33]: P ω = 1 2 ρ · S · v 3 (1) It will be ...
