Can I read Airborne Wind Energy: Advances in Technology Development and Research (Green Energy and Technology) on EtoBox?

Airborne Wind Energy: Advances in Technology Development and Research (Green Energy and Technology) by Roland Schmehl, Uwe Ahrens, Moritz Diehl is a nonfiction available to read on EtoBox.

What is Airborne Wind Energy: Advances in Technology Development and Research (Green Energy and Technology) about?

This book provides in-depth coverage of the latest research and development activities concerning innovative wind energy technologies intended to replace fossil fuels on an economical basis. A characteristic feature of the various conversion concepts discussed is the use of tethered flying devices to substantially reduce the material consumption per installed unit and to access wind energy at higher altitudes, where the wind is more consistent. The introductory chapter describes the emergence and economic dimension of airborne wind energy. Focusing on “Fundamentals, Modeling & Simulation”, Part I includes six contributions that describe quasi-steady as well as dynamic models and simulations of airborne wind energy systems or individual components. Shifting the spotlight to “Control, Optimization & Flight State Measurement”, Part II combines one chapter on measurement techniques with five chapters on control of kite and ground stations, and two chapters on optimization. Part III on “Concept Design & Analysis” includes three chapters that present and analyze novel harvesting concepts as well as two chapters on system component design. Part IV, which centers on “Implemented Concepts”,
