Since 2012, global wind power generation capacity has nearly quadrupled. As technologies have matured and costs have come down, wind energy has been embraced by countries across the globe. But ...
Until now, tornadic wind speeds near the ground have been difficult to measure. A new project called OTUS sends drones into the CD lower part of funnels to determine these speeds. Footage filmed by an ...
More than 40% of existing and planned offshore wind farm sites in Europe and Asia are being exposed to wind speeds above the maximum design load of some classes of turbine, according to a study in ...
On Jan. 17, 1982, a massive windstorm in Boulder produced two wind gusts that hit 137 mph and numerous wind gusts reaching 120 mph. The Daily Camera estimated at the time that at least 40% of all ...
Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
