Wind power capacity in the United States continued to experience strong growth in 2017.
Although wind energy costs have declined, premature drivetrain failure still can lead to higher-than-expected turbine operation and maintenance costs.
Primus Wind Power achieved certification in February 2018 of its Primus Air40 wind turbine model.
An experiment successfully demonstrated that the wake from an upwind turbine can be steered away from a downwind turbine by yawing the upwind turbine.
