Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Tornado is a small-scale vortex generated in strong unstable weather conditions. Its narrow strike range and high destructive force are its key attributes. Compared with other wind-induced disasters, ...

Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) presents a promising approach to harness solar energy for both electricity generation and industrial heat applications, with the added advantage of providing ...

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 ...

Scientists in South Africa have conducted full-scale research on the effect of wind load on PV panel mounting rails for more than 100 days. Compared to standard design codes, they found lower combined ...
