Researchers have investigated the aerodynamic performance of a single floating PV setup of 16 panels, as well as an array that combined 15 such setups. They found that drag coefficient distributions ...

A group of researchers from South Africa has conducted a full-scale field measurement of the wind load effects on the mounting rail of a PV single-axis tracker. The data was collected over 109 days in ...

Wind farms can alter the nearby rainfall and temperature, suggesting a need for more comprehensive studies of future energy systems Editor's note: The following essay is reprinted with permission from ...

The benefits of wind farms in terms of global climate change are well recognized but according to researchers at the University of Illinois they can also affect local climates as well. The researchers ...

Thybar offers seismic/wind load rated roof curbs. Rated curbs will resist the effects of site-specific forces determined according to the requirements of the International Building Code or other ...

Wind power maintains worldwide recognition as a renewable, clean energy source that people have admired for many years. The important performance problem affecting wind farm productivity emerges from ...

Lake-effect snow dumps localized areas of very heavy snow. The wind direction makes all the difference between a light shoveling and a big dig out at any on spot. Here is how each wind direction ...
