Severe convective storms generate highly transient and spatially localised wind phenomena, notably downbursts and gust fronts, that impose extreme loads on built infrastructure. Unlike steady synoptic ...

To investigate the wind-induced vibration characteristics of photovoltaic array tracking supports, this study uses the harmonic superposition method to simulate pulsating wind time series and, ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Comprehensive testing at every stage has been vital to the solar industry’s impressive growth to date – investors, insurers, and other project stakeholders all need some assurance that this still ...
