A viral video shows wind turbines operating in extreme cold, shedding ice by design and debunking claims that turbines fail in freezing temperatures.

Wind estimates are considered broadly robust but extreme wave statistics are not creating a risk of turbines being either ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...

AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...
