Wind Engineering, Vol. 41, No. 5 (October 2017), pp. 330-342 (13 pages) Abstract This work concentrates on the integration of superconducting magnetic energy storage system with wind-penetrated ...

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 ...

With extreme weather events becoming all too common, and a growing list of PV projects that have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds, ensuring that mounting structures are able to withstand the ...

As temperatures rise and another summer begins, it's important to reflect on the unpredictable weather Mother Nature can deliver at a moment's notice. This message is especially critical for standby ...

ABSTRACT The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) design standard (IEC 61400-3) for offshore wind turbines includes a design load case which considers loads on the turbine during extreme ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported on Sept. 17 that it has done additional analysis of the wind "loads" that the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were originally ...
