ARROW student Jonah Hanak presents at Energy Transition Symposium

ARROW student Jonah Hanak, PhD Candidate at UMass Amherst, working with ARROW faculty Emmanuel Branlard, presented the poster “Improving the wake modeling of FAST.Farm to account for veer and shear” at the 2026 Energy Transition Symposium at UMass Amherst. Jonah’s research showed that adding veer and shear to the wake dynamics formulation in the National Lab…

ARROW student Başak Rakıcı presents at ROSEI summit

ARROW student Başak Rakıcı, working with ARROW faculty Dennice Gayme and Yury Dvorkin, presents the poster “Probabilistic AEP Estimation Using Seasonal Variability and Wind Shear Uncertainty” recently at the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) summit at Johns Hopkins University. Başak’s research focuses on wind resource variability and the joint distribution of wind speed, wind…

ARROW student Yishu Zhang presents at ROSEI summit

ARROW student Yishu Zhang, working with ARROW faculty Dennice Gayme and Charles Meneveau, recently presented the poster A Large Eddy Simulation Study of Turbine Pitch Motion Effects on Fully Developed Floating Wind Farm Boundary Layers at the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) summit at Johns Hopkins University. Yishu’s research shows that a turbine’s pitching motion strongly…

ARROW student Xi Peng presents at ROSEI summit

ARROW student Xi Peng, working with ARROW faculty Ben Schafer, presented the poster “Collapse simulation of full-scale tower under load combination with measured imperfections” at the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) summit at Johns Hopkins University last month. This study presents collapse simulations of full-scale wind turbine tower with measured imperfections and three different ways…

ARROW student Eshagh Safarzadeh Ravajiri presents at ROSEI summit

ARROW student Eshagh Safarzadeh Ravajiri, working with ARROW faculty Ben Hobbs, presents the poster “Self-Supervised Learning for Battery Scheduling under Nonlinear Degradation” at the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) summit at Johns Hopkins University last month.

ARROW student Nathan Agarwal presents at ROSEI summit

ARROW student Nathan Agarwal, working with ARROW faculty Julie Lundquist, presents the poster “Up and Out: Navigating atmospheric stability in complex terrain” at the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) summit at The Johns Hopkins University last month. Nathan presents a novel machine-learning approach to tower siting for stakeholders interested in sampling heterogenous terrain. This approach has the potential to support meteorologists in characterizing…

Empower

ARROW-Empower is the educational arm of ARROW designed to empower the next generation of US-based OSW professionals, enhance the ability of US institutions to deliver comprehensive OSW education and establish global leadership for the US in OSW education. 

Engage

ARROW-Engage encompasses the outreach aspects and Community Benefits aspects of the center, especially diversity, energy equity and workforce development initiatives. ARROW’s holistic approach integrates these engagement initiatives into the fabric of its operations, educational programs, research initiatives, stakeholder engagements, and community relationships. ARROW-Engage tasks are integrated with and support research within ARROW-Innovate and Education within ARROW-Empower.

Innovate

ARROW-Innovate is the research arm of ARROW and focuses a rich OSW research environment at ARROW institutions on the characterization and reduction of uncertainty across the OSW system. Key objectives of ARROW-Innovate are increased reliability and the interjection of targeted solutions for OSW resilience. The expertise of the ARROW team covers the areas of infrastructure,…
