This reference offers an overview of the field of airborne wind
energy. As the first book of its kind, it provides a consistent
compilation of the fundamental theories, a compendium of current
research and development activities as well as economic and
regulatory aspects. In five parts, the book demonstrates the
relevance of Airborne Wind Energy and the role that this emerging
field of technology can play for the transition towards a renewable
energy economy. Part I on "Fundamentals" contains seven general
chapters explaining the principles of airborne wind energy and its
different variants, of meteorology, the history of kites and
financing strategies. Part II on "System Modeling, Optimization and
Control" contains eight contributions that develop and use detailed
dynamic models for simulation, optimization, and control of
airborne wind energy systems, while Part III on "Analysis of
Flexible Kite Dynamics" collects four chapters that focus on the
particularly challenging simulation problems related to flexible
kites. Part IV "Implemented Concepts" contains eleven contributions
each of which presents developed prototypes together with
real-world experimental results obtained with the different
concepts. Finally, in Part V on "Component Design," five papers are
collected that address in detail the technical challenges for some
of the components of airborne wind energy.
"Airborne Wind Energy "presents all basics in a single source to
someone starting to explore wind power in the upper atmosphere and
serves as a valuable reference for researchers, scientists,
professionals and students active in the innovative field of
Airborne Wind Energy.
