This study evaluates the performance of a counter-rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR-DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar-sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material …

DEME Group, a leader in offshore energy and marine infrastructure, seeks to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of cable burial operations for offshore wind farms through the development of a user-friendly trencher mobility model. This research addresses the limitations of existing models and provides …

This report researches the important role of meticulous route and road planning in establishing the feasibility of new potential wind farms. By focusing on a wind farm project in the southwest of France near Bordeaux, this report highlights how effective route planning significantly reduces construction …

The intermittency of renewable energy technologies requires adequate storage technologies. Hydrogen systems consisting of electrolysers, storage tanks, and fuel cells can be implemented as well as batteries. The requirements of the hydrogen purification unit is missing from literature. We measured the …

This article discusses results from an international contest, open for university student teams (bachelor and master), involving the design, construction, and testing of small wind turbines in a large wind tunnel. The wind tunnel has an outlet of 2.85 x 2.85 m allowing a maximum rotor swept area of 2 …

Airborne wind energy (AWE) is an emerging renewable energy technology that uses kites to harvest winds at higher altitudes than wind turbines. Understanding how residents experience a local AWE system (AWES) is important as the technology approaches commercialization. Such knowledge can help adjust the …

In 2050 moet ons land volledig af van fossiele brandstoffen. Al onze energie komt dan van duurzame bronnen. Maar wat als de zon niet schijnt of de wind niet waait? En hoe maak je het elektriciteitsnet geschikt voor tweerichtingsverkeer als consumenten ook producent van energie worden?

Afgelopen week heeft er een kickoff plaatsgevonden van het project: Groene methanol Omdat netcongestie en gelijktijdigheid van het energiesysteem steeds grotere uitdagingen worden naarmate de adoptie van zonne- en windenergie toeneemt, zien we in toenemende mate dat de duurzame energie opweksystemen …
