Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'A new class of large scale wind power generators shall be investigated via mathematical modelling, computer simulation and multidisciplinary optimization methods. The underlying technical idea is to use fast flying tethered airfoils that fly in altitudes of several hundred meters above the ground. They will perform specially controlled loops accompanied by line length and line tension variations, that are used to drive a generator on the ground. Being a high risk / high gain technology, the applicant believes that the main focus in the first development years should not be on building large and expensive experimental setups (as some courageous experimentalists currently do in Europe and the US), but on mathematical modelling, computer simulation and optimization studies, accompanied by only small scale experiments for model and control system validation. This will help finding optimal system designs before expensive and potentially dangerous large scale systems are built. The research requires an interdisciplinary collaboration of scientists from mathematical, mechanical, aerospace, and control engineering, as well as from the computational sciences. At the end of the project, a small scale, automatically flying prototype shall be realized, accompanied by validated and scalable mathematical models and a toolbox of efficient computational methods for simulation and multidisciplinary optimization of high altitude wind power systems. If successful, the project will help to establish this new type of wind power generator that might provide electricity more cheaply than fossil fuels and is deployable at considerably more sites than conventional windmills.'
