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, ...

ABB has introduced a new grid feeding monitoring relay for wind applications. The new low-voltage grid feeding monitoring relay CM-UFD.M33, also known as the Grid Tie Relay, is a state of the art ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wind energy has an initial advantage over its competitors in the renewable energy sector. The presence and size of turbines are increasingly larger and require updating for a number of reasons. Wind ...

Problems with wind turbines are rare. But if one does catch fire or blades break and fly off in a storm, it tends to be headline news. This can not only damage the reputations of wind turbine ...

Consider some of the logistics for a typical wind farm. The megawatt-scale turbines in these installations typically have towers anywhere from 40-to 100-m high. A blade tip at its highest point can be ...
