Kokkedee, Jop (author)With an ever increasing demand for sustainable energy, limitations of current sustainable technologies are studied widely. In wind farms, the so-called wake effect provides the biggest limitation on wind farm total power output. Using wind from the unaffected boundary layer to re-energize the wind flow in the wake provides a method of limiting...master thesis 2022

Coenen, Roger (author)Airborne Wind Energy is a technology where wind energy is harvested with tethered flying devices. Kitepower uses flexible leading edge inflatable kites, but these have a scaling disadvantage in that they become heavier with size. A single skin kite has the potential of negating this disadvantage while at the same time being more aerodynamically...master thesis 2018

Sachdeva, Shivaang (author)With growing energy demands and a need to switch to a sustainable source of energy key stakeholders are considering the use of high altitude wind energy systems. TU Delft and its start up company kitepower are key stakeholders investigating the commercial viability of this technology. With this goal the research group has developed several kite...master thesis 2017

Ploumakis, E. (author)Wake effects in wind farms are a major source of power production losses and fatigue loads on the rotors. It has been demonstrated that in large wind farms the only source of kinetic energy to balance that extracted by the turbines is the vertical transport of the free-stream flow kinetic energy from above the wind-turbine canopy. This chapter...master thesis 2016
