A young student has revamped a century-old math problem and unlocked a simple, yet elegant solution to optimize wind turbine flow conditions and enhance power output. Divya Tyagi, an aerospace ...

Wind power plays a major role in modern electricity systems because it provides low-cost energy, creates jobs, and produces ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

Wind turbines usually jut up from the ground like giant pinwheels. Now a company in China is exploring a new form factor: flying wind turbines. These zeppelin-like aircraft float high in the sky, ...
