Sailing the Wind: Evaluating the Impact of COMA on Multi-Agent Active Wake Control in Wind Farms: What is the effect of COMA on the problem of AWC compared to single-agent RL algorithms?

The close proximity of wind turbines to one another in a wind farm can lead to inefficiency in terms of power production due to wake effects. One technique to mitigate the losses is to veer from their individual optimal direction. As such, the wakes can be steered away from downstream turbines in order to increase the overall power output. Multi...

Arcadian Renewable Energy System: Renewable Energy for Mars Habitat

The human eye has turned itself back to the sky with the commercialisation of the space industry, and a new goal has been set. Setting foot on the Red Planet is the next stage of the human exploration of the universe. The travel to Mars is very lengthy and costly, nonetheless the planet still shows great potential for sustaining human life. To...

Automated launch, landing and storage of a kite power system

The Kite Power Group of the Wind Energy Department of Delft University of Technology has developed a pumping kite system to harvest high altitude wind energy (HAWP). HAWP technology is one of many renewable energy solutions that are emerging in a time at which Earth’s non-renewable energy resources are becoming scarce. The kite power system...
