Value-Driven System Design of Utility-Scale Airborne Wind Energy

Multi Objective Scheduling of Utility-scale Energy Storages and Demand Response Programs Portfolio for Grid Integration of Wind Power

Increasing the penetration of variable wind generation in power systems has created some new challenges in the power system operation. In such a situation, the inclusion of flexible resources which have the potential of facilitating wind power integration is necessary. Demand response (DR) programs and emerging utility-scale energy storages (ESs) are known as two powerful flexible tools that ca...

Control of Airborne Wind Energy Systems

Airborne wind energy is an emerging field in the landscape of innovative renewable energy systems that has experienced an ever-increasing development in the last decade. Today, a thriving multi-disciplinary community of researchers and technologists in academia and industry all over the world is well-established.

Development of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system

Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...

Design Automation in the Conceptual Design of Airborne Wind Energy Systems

Automatic crosswind flight of tethered wings for airborne wind energy: a direct data-driven approach ?

A control design approach for the autonomous crosswind flight of tethered wings, to be used in airborne wind energy systems, is described. The proposed technique aims to learn the behavior of a human pilot, by exploiting a finite number of data collected during manual operation of the system, hence avoiding the need for an explicit model of the system dynamics. Along with the design technique, ...
