2. Using airborne laser scans to model roughness length and forecast energy production of wind farms.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Successful wind power projects start with a realistic representation of the surface, more specifically the surface roughness of the site. This thesis investigates the use of airborne laser scans to model the surface roughness around a new wind farm. READ MORE

3. Aeroelastic Analysis of a Morphing Wing for Airborne Wind Energy Applications
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : The aim of this thesis is to set up a high-fidelity fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation environment to study the gust load alleviation capability of camber-morphing airborne wind energy (AWE) wings. The simulation environment will enable studying the transient flow phenomena around the wing when encountering wind gusts and gives the possibility of investigating dynamic instabilities. READ MORE

4. Sustained flight of an unmanned glider by winching.
University essay from KTH/Farkost och flygAbstract : Abstract. One of the newest technologies to produce environmentally friendly energy is to harness wind energy by sending up unmanned gliders that are con- nected to a generator on the ground through a cable. One of the biggest chal- lenges with this technology is to keep the glider airborne when the wind is still. READ MORE
