Effect of Wind Loads on Collapse Performance and Seismic Loss for Steel Ordinary Moment Frames
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of wind loads on the seismic collapse performance and seismic loss for steel ordinary moment frames (OMFs). For this purpose, 9-, 12-, 15-, and 18-story steel OMFs are repeatedly designed for (1) gravity

Analysis of Wind-Sand-Load-Induced Dynamic Response of Transmission Tower-Line Systems
Sandstorms are a common natural phenomenon that has the potential to cause severe disruptions to civil infrastructure. However, the effect of sandstorms on transmission tower structures has not received much attention.

Model predictive control strategy in waked wind farms for optimal fatigue loads [PDF]
With the rapid growth of wind power penetration, wind farms (WFs) are required to implement frequency regulation that active power control to track a given power reference. Due to the wake interaction of the wind turbines (WTs), there is more than one solution to distributing power reference among the operating WTs, which can be exploited as an ...

Aeroelastic load analysis of a co‐rotating quad‐rotor wind turbine
An aeroelastic analysis is carried out to assess the loads on a selected quad‐rotor wind turbine vis‐à‐vis those on an equivalent rated single‐rotor turbine, with a specific focus on a comparison of support structure loads (e.g., tower root, yaw‐bearing,

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of wind and wake characteristics on wind turbine loads in a small wind farm [PDF]
Wind turbines are designed using a set of simulations to determine the fatigue and ultimate loads, which are typically focused solely on unwaked wind turbine operation. These structural loads can be significantly influenced by the wind inflow conditions.

The Interference Effects of Wind Load and Wind-Induced Dynamic Response of Quayside Container Cranes
Strong wind has caused damage to group-arranged quayside container cranes in terminals and ports in recent years. Interference may amplify the wind loads in some cases. However, the interference effect among cranes has rarely been studied. In this study,

Individual Pitch Control of Wind Turbines Based on SVM Load Estimation and LIDAR Measurement
With the development of wind turbines to the large scale with high rated powers, how to reduce fatigue loads is the key factor for modern wind turbine control. Aiming at reducing the wind turbine structural fatigue loads, an individual pitch control (IPC)
