In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

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 Engineering, Vol. 45, No. 5 (October 2021), pp. 1206-1221 (16 pages) In this paper, a theory and practice-based research is conducted using real data, in order to increase the efficiency of a ...

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 ...

Maintenance on a wind turbine hub can be exciting, but also somewhat dangerous and a bit exhausting, as all the equipment and tools must be carried up (and down) hundreds of feet. Making pitch ...

Wide variations in speed and load, changing wind direction, climatic extremes and limited space inside nacelles conspire to reduce wind turbine availability and increase maintenance costs. The primary ...

In a wind farm, turbines affect each other through their wakes. The wake refers to the altered wind after flowing through a wind turbine. As one turbine extracts energy from the wind, the wind speed ...
