With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative ...

Engineers at Moog Inc. and wind turbine maker Made Tecnologias Renovables SA have produced a pitch control servo valve that governs blade pitch while eliminating external controls. The valve provides ...

As demand for wind energy intensifies, turbine reliability and efficiency are paramount. In this context, lubrication plays a ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
