On Wind Directions Estimated by Nacelle Lidar Under Different Reconstruction Methods
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The wind direction is closely linked to the power performance and structural loads of wind turbines. Conventional nacelle‐mounted vanes or sonic anemometers face errors associated with airflow distortions caused by turbine blades. Nacelle‐mounted lidar systems offer line‐of‐sight speed measurements from multiple positions ahead of the rotor ...

Out With the Old: Empirical Trends in U.S. Land‐Based Wind Turbine Decommissioning and Repowering
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT A growing number of wind turbines (WTs) across the globe are now reaching or exceeding their expected service lifetime; WT decommissioning is on the rise. Accordingly, questions pertaining to WT end‐of‐life have risen in importance in policy and practice. Yet, research on the various factors relating to WT decommissioning is relatively sparse.

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Wind energy's intermittency poses significant challenges for power grid stability. Existing forecasting methods exhibit notable limitations: traditional machine learning models struggle with long‐term temporal dependencies, while deep learning approaches often overlook spatial relationships among turbines.
