Increasingly fierce competition driven by deregulation and privatization is putting downward pressure on power plant operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets. Recently, lower natural gas prices have ...

Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...

For the aeroelastic simulation and analysis of wind turbines, models of different levels of complexity are used. The vibrational behavior due to the interaction of elastic structure and unsteady ...

Simulation programs are increasingly getting a work out in the design of wind turbines and wind farms. One reason: As the size and number of wind power plants (WPP) rises, planners must study how they ...
