A Penn State student refined a century-old math problem, originally published in 1935, that determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine. The student's work improves upon the ...

A new approach to a 100-year-old math problem is reshaping how engineers understand wind turbines. Penn State engineering student Divya Tyagi developed a cleaner and more complete solution to a ...

A young student has revamped a century-old math problem and unlocked a simple, yet elegant solution to optimize wind turbine flow conditions and enhance power output. Divya Tyagi, an aerospace ...

The blade was not broken by a major storm or other drastic event. Rather, the wind itself—the very thing the blade was designed to harness—broke the blade. The obvious question is whether wind plants ...

AMES, Iowa – Hui Hu picked up a 3-D printed model of a typical wind turbine and began explaining two problems with the big, tall, three-bladed machines. First, said the Iowa State University professor ...

Vineyard Wind is continuing to unravel off the shore of Nantucket, with the wind turbine manufacturer removing blades and an island nonprofit pulling back its support. GE Vernova, the designer, ...

The UK government has just announced the results of its biggest-ever auction for new offshore wind projects. By doubling the budget at the eleventh hour, it managed to award contracts for a massive 8.

Mulling a problem with the positioning of wind turbines and the production decrease resulting from the turbulence within wind farms, the question has arisen whether they will ever be as valuable a ...
