expert reaction to study of extreme winds and wind turbines
A study published in Nature Communications looks at extreme winds and offshore wind turbines. Prof Chris Vogel, Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, said: “The opening sentence in the press release about 40% of offshore wind farms experiencing high wind speeds has the potential to cause confusion, as it pertains to the maximum wind speed for IEC Class III turbines, not necessarily the turbines ac…
