In this pv magazine Webinar, we will review fatigue loading from hurricane and high-wind events and their impact on solar trackers Single-axis solar trackers need to be designed with extreme weather ...

In this pv magazine webinar we will discuss the necessity and complexity of establishing a bespoke wind design code for single-axis PV trackers. We will also clarify how project developers and asset ...

Sometime this year, the swept area of the world's largest wind turbine will grow by nearly 30 percent. Swept area describes the circular zone outlined by the tips of a turbine's turning rotor blades, ...

Develop a longer wind turbine blade that will produce more power output without increasing blade weight, the load on the turbine or the costs for transportation to and assembly at the wind farm site.

Each turbine in a wind farm is equipped with a step-up transformer, which boosts (steps up) turbine generator output voltage from a few hundred volts to the collector system’s medium voltage ...

Rainier Square Tower, under construction in Seattle, is one of the buildings considered for the development of a performance-based wind design manual for tall buildings. Photo Courtesy of ...

As temperatures rise and another summer begins, it's important to reflect on the unpredictable weather Mother Nature can deliver at a moment's notice. This message is especially critical for standby ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

From all outward appearances, wind turbines are sleek and elegant works of engineering. But inside, they're hell on gears and bearings. In most turbines, the rotors turn a mechanical transmission that ...

Prompt site assessment of wind damage from major storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes is a crucial step in determining the extent of property loss. The assessment of wind damage is important for ...
