Abstract: A deeper understanding of the physics of atmospheric flow in the critical zone of wind-plant operation simulation is a grand challenge problem in the science of wind energy. High-fidelity ...

Gearboxes in general are a result of over 80 years of accumulated engineering knowledge. So why do gearboxes for wind turbines sometimes fail after seven to 11 years — way less than the anticipated 20 ...

Wind turbine gearbox replacement cost can be as much as US$350,000. But EPRI’s physics-based AI early damage detection model, tested on WEC Energy Group, Southern Company and other utility’s wind ...

If we want to obtain 20 percent of our electricity from wind power by 2030, the US is going to need at least 50 gigawatts from offshore wind farms, according to the US Department of Energy. The ...

Goldwind, Vestas and Envision all feature in a new list of the most popular wind turbine models by number delivered last year, with GE Vernova also landing a spot in a ranking otherwise dominated by ...

Energy systems face complicated, long-term challenges with a high degree of uncertainty – and every country’s is different.
