ABSTRACT This paper explores different reel‐out strategies in a simulated environment to improve the power generation capability of Kitemill's KM1 prototype. The KM1 is a rigid‐wing groundgen airborne wind energy system that flies in circular loops during its power production phase. Firstly, we investigate the impact of flight and ground winch control.

Data‐Driven Exploration of Tropical Cyclone's Controllability
Abstract Although the chaotic nature of the atmosphere may enable efficient control of tropical cyclones (TCs) via small‐scale perturbations, few studies have proposed data‐driven optimization methods to identify such perturbations. Here, we apply the recently proposed Ensemble Kalman Control (EnKC) to a TC simulation.

X-Rotor, an Innovative Offshore Wind Turbine to Reduce Cost of Energy
The cost of energy generated by large-scale vertical-axis wind turbines faces great challenges for it to be competitive with conventional horizontal-axis wind turbines for offshore deployment. To become competitive, significant reductions in capital cost

Monitoring Near‐Surface Changes Using Anthropogenic Seismic Vibrations
Abstract The abundance of anthropogenic seismic noise provides a valuable resource for monitoring dynamic subsurface property changes. We utilize railway and wind turbine‐induced vibrations recorded by a geophone array to estimate surface wave attenuation and velocity in the underlying glacial deposits of Illinois.

Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...
