As temperatures rise and another summer begins, it's important to reflect on the unpredictable weather Mother Nature can deliver at a moment's notice. This message is especially critical for standby ...

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will review fatigue loading from hurricane and high-wind events and their impact on solar trackers Single-axis solar trackers need to be designed with extreme weather ...

The wind-induced response of structures has been a significant subject of engineering research over the past 40 years. Tall, slender buildings, chimneys, antenna towers, high-mast light standards, ...

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 ...

In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

Scientists from the University of Oldenburg, in collaboration with engineering and manufacturing partners, have developed a more precise model to predict the mechanical forces acting on wind turbine ...
