Clemson University's Wind Load Test Facility was created after Hurricane Hugo so that researchers would have a place to run tests in the hopes of keeping people safer during storms.The facility houses ...
The WTTC opened in 2011 and has since evolved to test longer wind turbine blades (Credit: DOE) When WTTC opened in 2011, it tested land-based wind turbine blades that typically spanned around 50 ...
CLEMSON — In a nondescript industrial steel building not far from Clemson University’s main campus, civil engineers fire two-by-four lumber out of an air cannon and test model buildings in a 50-mph ...
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 ...
In part two of this feature on wind resilience in the PV industry, the lack of structural codes comes into focus. Weather events, and wind above all, are the most common causes of failure for PV ...
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 ...
