One of the biggest problems with wind energy is that it's difficult to predict the behavior of the wind itself and, by extension, to plan for the amount of power wind turbines are able to generate in ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

Do you know why this is called an east wind? (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.) This is the Anthony’s Weather Lab newsletter which is ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Recently we have had some very windy days, but do we always know which direction the wind is blowing? In today's weather experiment we are going to build a wind vane or weather vane to ...

Have you ever wondered how an electronic wind vane translates a direction into a unique signal? It seems as though it might be very complicated, and indeed some of them are. [martinm] over at ...

When we think that researchers have found the optimal way to generate clean energy, along comes someone else with something even more innovative and cutting-edge. A start-up based in Lancaster, ...

Researchers from Portland State University claim to have developed a method of raising solar plant energy yield around 5% while reducing panel degradation by more than 0.3% per year The academics have ...

This pv magazine Webinar will address solar project risks related to high winds, hail, snow, and flooding conditions. Solar facilities are faced with various weather-related risks that can cause ...

Drag-based wind energy design. Aiming to translate its expertise in manufacturing monocoque, ribbed components with thermoplastic microspheres, Xenecore is working to develop a fan-shaped, drag-based ...

Winds are always named for the direction from which they blow. The best way to picture this is to stand so the wind is blowing into your face. The direction you are facing names the wind direction. A ...
