Advanced detection of wind anomalies could help prolong the lifespan of wind turbine components and reduce the cost of wind energy generation. In this context, European researchers have developed smart control software
Europeans have been using the wind to generate energy for centuries. Even early wind mills were very cleverly designed cybernetic tools. And, the optimising of this technology is still going.
"Mathematical patterns and algorithms play an important role in this process," says Sung-ho Hur, a postdoc researcher at the University of Strathclyde.
