Each year a panel reviews papers nominated from the past two years and selects an article of high significance. The paper, published in 2022, describes the first experimental implementation of Model ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Wind power generation in the U.S. is enjoying favorable winds. First, the cost of wind turbine installations has dropped by over one-third since 2010 as the capacity of turbines increased. Next, ...

With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative ...

Maintenance on a wind turbine hub can be exciting, but also somewhat dangerous and a bit exhausting, as all the equipment and tools must be carried up (and down) hundreds of feet. Making pitch ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 45, No. 5 (October 2021), pp. 1206-1221 (16 pages) In this paper, a theory and practice-based research is conducted using real data, in order to increase the efficiency of a ...

A new system using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of embedded-control software releases keeps turbines up on the farm For its wind turbine control systems, Siemens’ engineers faced the challenge ...

ACCORDING TO THE American Wind Energy Association, by the end of 2001, an additional 2000 MW of wind power will be added in the U.S. This new capacity includes four new wind farms of 200 MW or more ...

Nikhar Abbas (PhDMechEngr’22) is taking his research on wind turbine control systems to the international stage. Abbas received the 2023 European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE) Excellent Young Wind ...

With the advantages of clean, renewable energy, wind power has become one of the fastest-growing energy sources and one of the most economical solutions for electricity generation. There are already ...
