Cooling towers play a vital role in industrial processes and power generation by dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere. Their unique hyperbolic geometries are designed not only to maximise heat ...

Offshore wind turbines, particularly floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs), operate in highly dynamic and often severe marine environments where extreme loads induced by wind, waves and currents can ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported on Sept. 17 that it has done additional analysis of the wind "loads" that the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were originally ...

A configuration of a self-excited induction generator supplying DC loads with constant voltage through a diode bridge rectifier and a buck-type DC–DC converter is proposed. The rectifier input current ...

The reliability analysis of a spar-supported floating offshore 5-MW wind turbine is the subject of this study. Environmental data from a selected site are employed in the numerical studies. Using time ...
