Crossover Wind, a 135-megawatt wind farm near Wynne, is now online. The farm's 33 Vestas 4.5MW turbines, designed to produce enough electricity to power 50,000 houses, have been operating since June.

Three years ago, a massive spinning blade flew off a towering turbine at Portland General Electric’s flagship wind farm in Sherman County, bringing scrutiny to the many maintenance problems, safety ...

In the past, when designing the profile of rotor blades, the layout of wind turbines in a farm, or the day-to-day operation of wind turbines, engineers have relied on ad hoc adjustments added to the ...
