This is a list of airborne wind energy or kite-energy organizations that are advancing airborne wind energy systems (AWES). In 2011 there were over 40 organizations involved worldwide, [1] but this number has increased to over 60 in 2017. [2]
The Virginia Offshore Wind Technology Advancement Project (VOWTAP) is a program to establish offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Virginia. [13] In May 2014, Dominion Virginia Power was awarded $47 million from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to help fund the construction of a 12-megawatt demonstration project ...
An aerostat-type wind power system relies at least in part on buoyancy to support the wind-collecting elements. Aerostats vary in their designs and resulting lift-to-drag ratio; the kiting effect of higher lift-over-drag shapes for the aerostat can effectively keep an airborne turbine aloft; a variety of such kiting balloons were made famous in the kytoon by Domina Jalbert.
Airborne wind energy (AWE) is the direct use or generation of wind energy by the use of aerodynamic or aerostatic lift devices. AWE technology is able to harvest high altitude winds, in contrast to wind turbines, which use a rotor mounted on a tower. The term high-altitude wind power (HAWP) has been used to refer to AWE systems. [1]
Airborne Wind Energy Industry Association (AWEIA) was founded in 2009 to globally serve and represent companies and institutions dedicated to developing airborne wind energy technology by use of tethered and free-flight aircraft (airborne wind energy AWE [1]); the tethered and free-flight mode is in contrast to using non-tethered ground-connected wind turbines.
The company's proposed $200 million factory at the Port of Virginia in Portsmouth would have created more than 300 jobs and aided the state in its aspirations to become a hub for offshore wind ...
Some wind industry associations, such as the Global Wind Energy Council, the World Wind Energy Association, and WindEurope, provide publicly available membership directories on their websites. Other wind industry associations, such as the Canadian Wind Energy Association and the American Wind Energy Association , have membership directories ...
On Thursday, Sept. 26, Hampton rechecked his equipment − rafts, water rescue vests, helmets, flip line − then he and other firefighters visited low-lying areas near the French Broad, advising ...
