When multi-gigawatt offshore wind projects are more than halfway built, a sudden stop order becomes an engineering problem before it becomes anything else. Ships go off hire, crews of specialization ...

In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

After two decades of steady growth, wind blew past hydroelectric as the leading source of renewable energy in the United States in 2019. Last year, wind turbines generated a total of 338 billion ...

Wind power technology in 2025 pushed well beyond incremental upgrades, with engineers rethinking how, where, and even what wind turbines look like. From floating giants the size of city blocks and ...

The 10th annual Collegiate Wind Competition was held in Boulder May 17-19. In the final event of the competition, 13 teams tested their prototype wind turbines and presented their work to panels of ...

When the framers of the Jeddah Tower—designed to rise higher than 1 kilometer—needed advice on the wind climate about 500 m above the earth’s atmospheric boundary layer, they turned to RWDI Consulting ...

With extreme weather events becoming all too common, and a growing list of PV projects that have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds, ensuring that mounting structures are able to withstand the ...

AMHERST, N.Y. — We have seen how wild weather can cause major damage across our area. The University at Buffalo will continue to study how high winds can affect buildings thanks to a new government ...
