Extreme-size wind turbines face logistical challenges due to their sheer size. A solution,
segmentation, is examined for an extreme-scale 50 MW wind turbine with 250 m blades …

Increasing growth in land-based wind turbine blades to enable higher machine capacities
and capacity factors is creating challenges in design, manufacturing, logistics, and …

As wind turbine rotors become larger, the blades become more flexible, requiring extra
stiffness and cost to avoid the risk of tower strike. Wind turbines in a downwind configuration …

Increasing wind turbine size can have substantial economic benefits. However, increasing
wind turbine turbine size requires the use of models that accurately capture the aerodynamic …

In recognition of deeper insights into the implications of wind farm deployments, this paper
addresses the need for an updated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for onshore wind …

Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbines (HATT) currently have a lower power coefficient than
commercially available wind turbines. This has meant that in recent years less funding goes …

Wind energy is a vital resource for meeting international climate change targets. A key
industry challenge is integrating wind power plants within the electrical grid, especially as …

Distributed wind turbines (DWTs), with rated capacity less than 100 kW, are penalized by
high balance-of-system costs that lead to a high levelized cost of energy (LCOE). As a result …
