Buildings and Wind: A Software-Based Design Methodology
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-26)There is a reciprocal relationship between wind and buildings, as they each affect the other. Building form affects wind by altering its speed and flow patterns, and can be used to create desirable wind conditions around ... -
City of Wind: Exposing the Invisible
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-02)Strong winds have breached the city walls. A set of iron chairs launch toward a couple passing an outdoor patio. Bags of groceries fling from unsuspecting hands and scatter across the sidewalk. A group of cyclists swerve ... -
Incorporating DFIG-Based Wind Power Generator in Microgird Frequency Stabilization
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)Although wind power as a renewable energy is assumed to be an all-round advantageous source of energy, its intermittent nature can cause difficulties, especially in the islanding mode of operation. Conventional synchronous ... -
A Study on Vibration Isolation in a Wind Turbine Subjected to Wind and Seismic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)The primary loading on wind turbines is in the lateral direction and is of a stochastic nature, due to wind and seismic forces. As turbines grow larger, they experience proportionally larger lateral forces. Large forces ...
