Giant offshore wind turbine monopiles arriving from Europe last month at the Portsmouth, Va., marine terminal for construction starting next year of Dominion Energy's 2.6-GW project 27 miles off ...

After two decades of steady growth, wind blew past hydroelectric as the leading source of renewable energy in the United States in 2019. Last year, wind turbines generated a total of 338 billion ...

Two men who made critical contributions to the development of wind power will share the £500,000 QEPrize, nicknamed the "Nobel of engineering". Denmark's Henrik Stiesdal framed the early design ...

A group of mechanical engineering seniors will be the first University of Colorado Boulder team to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC) – an event in which ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

The July 13 collapse of a blade on an 853-ft-tall turbine at the giant Vineyard Wind offshore wind project off southern Massachusetts was due to a "manufacturing deviation," not design or engineering, ...

Scientists in South Africa have conducted full-scale research on the effect of wind load on PV panel mounting rails for more than 100 days. Compared to standard design codes, they found lower combined ...
