Project: High Altitude Mobile Wind Energy with Tethered Wings
| Acronym | TwingPower (Reference Number: 11105) |
| Duration | 01/04/2017 |
| Project Topic | TwingPower is a mobile wind energy technology which uses a tethered wing or Twing to access stronger winds at higher altitudes. The consortium will design, build and test a prototype system consisting of a Twing, a winch and an energy storage and microgrid integration unit, or microgrid. The results of the project will prove that this novel approach to wind energy is ready for commercialization. |
