1. Evaluation of the Weather Resistance of Ram-Air Kites Used in Airborne Wind Energy Systems
University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiAbstract : Airborne Wind Energy is an emerging technology that harnesses the power of the wind by using tethered wings. Among the flying devices are ram-air wings made from coated textiles that utilize dynamic pressure to gain their shape. READ MORE

2. Mechanical Design, Analysis, and Manufacturing of Wind Tunnel Model and Support Structure
University essay from KTH/LättkonstruktionerAbstract : The use of wind tunnel models for aerodynamic research is nowadays indispensable to aviation progress in the last years as aircrafts have become more complex. Wind tunnel model design and manufacturing has adopted many different processes and materials such as the use of a five-axis CNC; making this process a relatively long and expensive one. READ MORE

5. Load Control Aerodynamics in Offshore Wind Turbines
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Due to the increase of rotor size in horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) during the past 25 years in order to achieve higher power output, all wind turbine components and blades in particular, have to withstand higher structural loads. This upscalingproblem could be solved by applying technologies capable of reducing aerodynamic loads the rotor has to withstand, either with passive or active control solutions. READ MORE
