From:Advances in Mechanical EngineeringPeer-ReviewedElectrical generators are designed to perform best under permanent rotation velocity and fixed loads conditions. However, such ideal conditions are not practically feasible during the operation of real wind turbines....
-
From:International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration (Vol. 25, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn this paper, a strategy is proposed to deal with the total pitch actuator failure in the modern wind turbines. The fault is firstly detected using a suitable proportional residual which rises when the measured rotor...

From:Science and Children (Vol. 52, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedInvestigating and designing technologies, objects, or "built systems" allows students to engage in engineering practices and engineering design. It also enables them to gain direct evidence to...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBackground Unexpected performance degradation occurs in wind turbine blades due to leading edge defect when suffering from continuous impacts with rain drops, hails, insects, or solid particles during its operation...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 7, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedTo maximize fitness, flying animals should maximize flight speed while minimizing energetic expenditure. Soaring speeds of large-bodied birds are determined by flight routes and tradeoffs between minimizing time and...
-
From:American Scientist (Vol. 95, Issue 6)This past August, the House of Representatives passed a bill intended to spur the adoption of renewable-energy sources for powering the country's electricity grids. Known as the Udall-Platts amendment, the legislation...
-
From:Progress In Electromagnetics Research M (Vol. 83) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of this work is to reduce the torque ripple of a low-speed/high-torque Doubly Salient Permanent Magnet (DSPM) generator for wind turbine applications. To do this, a combined design and control-based approaches...
