A Penn State student refined a century-old math problem, originally published in 1935, that determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine. The student's work improves upon the ...

Jim Boyd’s heart sank the first time he saw the now-infamous image of a fractured wind turbine blade dangling above the Atlantic Ocean. Not because of the fiberglass and styrofoam debris collected ...

Wind turbines work properly in cold weather, contrary to social media posts that claim they fail when temperatures drop. An X post from July 2025 received more than 100,000 views while incorrectly ...

A new approach to a 100-year-old math problem is reshaping how engineers understand wind turbines. Penn State engineering student Divya Tyagi developed a cleaner and more complete solution to a ...

An undergraduate student at Penn State University discovered a new approach to a century-old problem, and in doing so made it easier for engineers to develop more efficient wind turbines. The real ...

Divya Tyagi, right, a Penn State engineering graduate student, shows her work on a century-old math problem to Sven Schmitz, a College of Engineering faculty member and Tyagi's adviser. UNIVERSITY ...

After retirement, wind turbine components are typically recycled or placed in a landfill. The materials making up turbine blades are more difficult to recycle, posing a problem for sustainable ...

Bottlenecks on the national grid are cutting supplies of cheaper electricity to homes and businesses, an industry group claims. Wind energy generated 39 per cent of the electricity used in the ...

In 2023, twice as much solar generation capacity was installed as all other generation technologies combined. The future of energy generation is solar photovoltaics with support from wind energy, and ...
