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 ...

The University of Maine is contributing to the global effort to improve floating machines to harness wind over deeper offshore waters. Researchers envision turbine platforms floating in the ocean ...

Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...

The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread ...

Eighty-five years of history gives you perspective. Indar was founded in 1940, and since then, we’ve seen multiple technology cycles across electrical machines and energy systems. That experience is ...

Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...

Here's the first visual simulation of what an offshore wind farm will look like from Jones Beach, showing the turbines visible at 15 miles from shore. The video depicts the changing visibility of the ...

These remarkable modular wind turbines stack themselves up section by section, removing the need for gigantic cranes and promising to slash the cost of offshore wind installation by as much as half.

On Tuesday evening, the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District will provide an additional look at how exactly the offshore wind project slated for waters roughly 20 miles west of ...
