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.

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

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.

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

Wind 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.

Cold Climate Wind: Challenges, Technological Solutions and Policy

WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2026.
Operating wind farms in cold climates creates unique challenges for turbine designers, owners, and operators. Solving these challenges requires specific technological and policy solutions at all levels. ABSTRACT Cold‐climate wind power represents a major subset of onshore global capacity, with approximately one third of existing installations located ...

An efficient semi‐analytical approach for the free vibration behavior of DWCNTs on elastic foundations based on nonlocal elasticity theory

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In this study, a comprehensive analytical framework is developed to investigate the free vibration behavior of double‐walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) resting on an elastic foundation, based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The DWCNTs are modeled as two coupled Euler–Bernoulli (EB) beams, explicitly incorporating intertube van der ...
