Structural design of waste-thermoplastic wind turbine blade
Wind turbine blades are unrecyclable at end of life, which has led to the testing of thermoplastics to replace thermosets in the composite; thus making recycling possible. Another challenge, waste plastics of which 55% of all plastics produced in 2015 were discarded into the environment. Utilising …

Quality control and analysis of an updated wind gust data set in the United States
… the development of an updated 51-year peak wind gust data set for 679 Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS) stations across the Continental United States (CONUS) and explores limitations and implications for long return period wind speed estimation. In total, the data set contains more …

Statistical models for extreme weather events
Western Europe is typically prone to extreme weather events during the winter months, which typically take the form of windstorms or flooding. The storm Desmond brought strong winds and heavy rain to Ireland, northern England and Scotland in December 2015, resulting in an estimated $500 million …

Probabilistic extreme response analysis of large wind turbines to natural winds
With increases in size and flexibility of modern wind turbines, especially for offshore applications, an improved understanding and assessment of turbine performance under various wind conditions is increasingly important to greatly reduce the risk and increase turbine efficiency and reliability. …
