Insect fatalities at wind turbines as biodiversity sinks
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Evidence is accumulating that insects are frequently killed by operating wind turbines, yet it is poorly understood if these fatalities cause population declines and changes in assemblage structures on various spatial scales. Current observations suggest

Techno-economic comparison of operational aspects for direct drive and gearbox-driven wind turbines [PDF]
, 2010 The majority of wind turbines currently in operation have the conventional Danish concept design-that is, the three-bladed rotor of such turbines is indirectly coupled with an electrical generator via a gearbox.

Optimization of periodic maintenance for wind turbines based on stochastic degradation model [PDF]
Archives of Electrical Engineering, 2021 The degradation process of wind turbines is greatly affected by external factors. Wind turbine maintenance costs are high. The regular maintenance of wind turbines can easily lead to over and insufficient maintenance.

Wind Turbines and Human Health [PDF]
Frontiers in Public Health, 2014 The association between wind turbines and health effects is highly debated. Some argue that reported health effects are related to wind turbine operation [electromagnetic fields (EMF), shadow flicker, audible noise, low-frequency noise, infrasound]. Others suggest that when turbines are sited correctly, effects are more likely attributable to a number ...

Modelling the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in unsteady wind conditions [PDF]
, 2013 Most numerical and experimental studies of the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines have been conducted with the rotors in steady, and thus somewhat artificial, wind conditions - with the result that turbine aerodynamics, under varying wind ...
