Editorial WIND ENGINEERING Volume 38, No. 4, 2014 PP iii–iv iii Here is the fourth issue of 2014 with eight interesting papers on a variety of subjects important to wind energy engineering. The first three papers are concerned with various technical details of small wind turbine design and application. Paper number one presents a design procedure for tubular lattice towers for small wind turbines. It authors are Adhikari, Wood, and Sudak from the University of Calgary (Canada). The second paper of this group is by Shah, Mathew, and Lim from the University of Brunei Darussalam (Brunei). Their paper studied a new low Reynolds number airfoil for small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines. The next paper here gives a description of a novel small Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) using Delta-Wing blades. It authors are Ji and Schluter from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). The fourth paper is on the subject of resource assessment and presents a new algorithm for ultra-short term wind predictions based on relative turbine locations. Shensi, Zheng, and Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai Electric Power (China). The next paper gives a study of hurricane-induced loads on offshore wind turbines with emphasis on yaw and blade pitch control. Its authors are Kim and Manuel from the University of Texas Austin (USA). The sixth paper of this issue is by Dicker and Kosasih from the University of Wollongong (Australia). They investigated structural load control for utility scale wind turbines using a trailing edge deformation mechanism. The next paper discusses, via a wind turbine gearbox case study, the significance of effective lubrication in reducing system failures.

The final paper is by Zhao, Yang, He, and Gu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China). On the topic of offshore wind, they investigated the extreme response prediction of a tension leg floating wind turbine under various operating conditions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Wind Engineering SAGE
