Energy is an integral part of economic growth and social development. Renewable energy
sources are naturally occurring, which can help in reducing the dependency on non …

This paper represents an expert view from Europe of future emerging technologies within
the wind energy sector considering their potential, challenges, applications and technology …

Airborne wind energy systems convert wind energy into electricity using tethered flying
devices, typically flexible kites or aircraft. Replacing the tower and foundation of …

We compare the available wind resources for conventional wind turbines and for airborne
wind energy systems. Accessing higher altitudes and continuously adjusting the harvesting …

This paper presents a co-design framework that optimizes the kite design, site, and
controller of a kite-based marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy-harvesting system. The …

Airborne wind energy systems use tethered flying devices to harvest wind energy beyond
the height range accessible to tower‐based wind turbines. Current commercial prototypes …

The world has witnessed an unprecedented growth of WF installation, driven by national
and international energy policies. Considering the negative impacts of fossil fuel and …

Wind tunnel testing of large deformable soft kites for wind energy conversion is expensive
and in many cases practically not feasible. Computational simulation of the coupled fluid …

Kites can be used to harvest wind energy at higher altitudes while using only a fraction of the
material required for conventional wind turbines. In this work, we present the kite system of …

The optimal control problem for flight trajectories of Fly-Gen airborne wind energy systems
(AWESs) is a crucial research topic for the field, as suboptimal paths can lead to a drastic …
