Wind loads on ground-based telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
One of the factors that can influence the performance of large optical telescopes is the vibration of the telescope structure due to unsteady wind inside the telescope enclosure.

Individual Pitch Control of Wind Turbines Based on SVM Load Estimation and LIDAR Measurement

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
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)

Large eddy simulations of wind loads on an external floating-roof tank

open access: yes, 2020
Wind load of an external floating-roof tank is analyzed using large eddy simulation (LES). First, the governing equations and a LES solution procedure employing FLUENT software are presented. Subsequently, using two benchmark tank models, the accuracy of

Numerical simulation of wind loads on an offshore PV panel: the effect of wave angle

open access: yes, 2020
This numerical simulation determines the wind loads on a stand-alone solar panel in a marine environment. The initial angle of tilt is 20° and 40° and the wind is incident at an angle of 0–180° (in increments of 45°).

Experimental validation of parked loads for a floating vertical axis wind turbine: wind–wave basin tests [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science
Parked loads are a major design load case for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) because of persistent high loads on the rotor when in standstill conditions.

Wind Turbine Gust Load Alleviation with Active Flow Control

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Large wind turbine rotors are becoming more common in utility-scale wind power, especially for offshore wind plants. However, the trend toward large rotors can be limited by their ability to manage dynamic and extreme loads.

Hurricane eyewall winds and structural response of wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science, 2020
This paper describes the analysis of a wind turbine and support structure subject to simulated hurricane wind fields. The hurricane wind fields, which result from a large eddy simulation of a hurricane, exhibit features such as very high gust factors ...

A Practical Load-Source Coordinative Method for Further Reducing Curtailed Wind Power in China with Energy-Intensive Loads

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Large-scale wind power farms in China are suffering from large amounts of curtailed wind power in the conventional dispatching mode. Energy-intensive loads have great potential in providing service regulation to help consume the curtailed wind power ...

The physics of wind-blown sand and dust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols.
