The design and optimisation of offshore wind farms have become pivotal in reducing capital expenditure and maximising energy yield in the renewable energy sector. Recent advances focus on optimising ...

For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...

For example, operators of wind farms must constantly adjust a variety of parameters, including the orientation of each turbine as well as its rotation speed and the angle of its blades, in order to ...
