Airborne Wind Energy System Modelling, Control and Optimisation (AWESCO)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
The height of conventional wind turbines is limited by the enormous stresses on the structure. The idea of the Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) is to replace the most efficient part of a conventional wind turbine, the tip of the turbine blade, with a fast flying high efficiency kite, and to replace the rest of the structure by a tether which anchors the kite to the ground. Power is generated either by p ...

Demonstration of an innovative wind propulsion technology for cargo vessels (WINTECC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2006, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2009,
Background
Cargo shipping (driven by heavy fuel oil) is regarded as one of the main producers of climate damaging emissions. SkySails-Technology are wind propulsion systems for modern shipping. It is estimated that the market for using this technology consists of around 40 000 ships out of 90 000 on the Lloyd's Register of shipping of the world trade flee ...
