I am broadly interested in design, computational modeling, and optimization of airborne wind energy (AWE) systems. In a collaboration with colleagues from TU Delft and DTU on accelerating the technology development of AWE, we built a benchmark computational model of a multi-megawatt AWE system. We particularly aimed to provide an open-access benchmark model that can be used for AWE system analysis, model-based flight control, and cross validation of alternative simulation frameworks developed within the AWE industry and research community.
