Estimating Wind‐Power Capacity Time Series From Production Data Using a Power Curve Model and Quadratic Optimization

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate, time‐resolved installed capacity data are crucial for forecasting and analysing wind‐power production. The time series of installed capacity is often only approximately known in regions with rapid wind power development. Public wind power databases may only be updated yearly and installation dates may not be differentiated within ...

Key Drivers for Offshore Wind Deployment in the Western United States

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The western coast of the United States has abundant natural resources, including wind, sun, and water. Despite strong ocean winds, offshore wind energy (OSW) in the Western United States is in the early stages of technology development due largely to the deep water off the coast, which requires floating platforms rather than fixed‐bottom ...

Wind Turbine Control for Spatially Varying Turbulence

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of inflow turbulence generation simulation methods and blade pitch control strategies on the performance and blade structure loading of a large offshore wind turbine. Two inflow representations were considered: synthetic Kaimal turbulence generated in accordance with IEC design standards and large‐eddy ...

Energy Infrastructure Futures: A Multiscale Evaluation of Projected Power Plant Siting Across the Western Interconnection

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The US Western Interconnection is facing unprecedented challenges in the form of less predictable peak energy demand, increasingly diverse generating resources, and fast‐growing loads due to the onset of artificial intelligence, hyperscale computing, and electrification.

Physics‐Aware Gated Spatiotemporal Fusion Network for Adaptive Large‐Scale Atmospheric Circulation Guidance in Wind Speed Prediction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate spatiotemporal wind speed prediction is essential for improving wind energy utilization and ensuring power grid security. However, existing methods often rely on incorporating multiple meteorological variables, which increases model complexity and obscures the role of large‐scale circulation in guiding local wind evolution.

Wake Dynamics Of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

The platform motions of floating wind turbines can elicit large-scale unsteady responses in the downstream wake behaviour. This has consequences for farm-scale power production and fatigue loading on turbines. As such, optimal design for future floating offshore wind farms requires an improved understanding of the complex mechanisms that drive these ...

Offshore Installation of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

Global ambitions for floating offshore wind energy are rapidly escalating, with an ambitious target of 220 GW capacity by 2050, requiring the installation of approximately 550 units of 15 MW floating offshore turbines annually. The industry faces significant challenges in meeting this demand, as planned suitable wind sites are increasingly located ...
