Segmented Gurney Flaps for Improved Wind Turbine Wake Recovery

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT When wind passes through the rotor of a wind turbine, the velocity is decreased while turbulence is increased. The region of decreased wind speed behind the rotor is known as the wind turbine wake and is bounded by a complex structure of helical vortices. This structure occurs to be more stable in low ambient turbulence and low tip speed ratio

On Wind Directions Estimated by Nacelle Lidar Under Different Reconstruction Methods

open access: yesWind 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

open access: yesWind 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.

TSG‐Net: A Multiscale Decomposition and Spatio‐Temporal Graph Neural Network Framework for High‐Precision Wind Power Forecasting

open access: yesWind 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.

Modeling Temperature Responses of a Wind Turbine Blade Section Under Climate Chamber Conditions – Part 1: Challenges for FEM Simulations

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of wind energy infrastructure over the past 20–30 years has led up to a situation where advanced non‐destructive testing (NDT) technologies are the need‐of‐the‐hour, not only for new wind turbine blades (WTBs) that are being installed, but also for older infrastructure which is reaching their designed lifetime.

AI‐Driven Deep Learning Framework for Detecting Subtle Surface Defects on Wind Turbine Blades

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind turbine blade surface defect detection is of great significance in ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of wind power systems. However, accurately detecting subtle and small‐scale defects remains challenging under complex imaging conditions.
