NLR can support the development of innovative Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) concepts through design and product development, as well as advanced analysis and optimisation of wind energy system behaviour. We also offer expertise in structural design of lightweight components, material selection for high-load long-endurance components, and evaluation of wind energy systems under off-design conditions. Additionally, we provide strength, endurance and quality testing of components for wind energy systems, helping to ensure the reliability and performance of your wind energy solutions.
NLR can support you with:
- Design, analysis, certification, and environmental evaluation of aerospace systems, including aerodynamic and structural design analyses and optimisations.
- Expertise in flight controls, avionics, and operations, as well as certification and safety assessments.
- Investigation of Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) operations, including flight cycle evaluations and analysis of local impacts such as safety, noise, visual, and environmental effects.
- Utilisation of NLR’s Flight track and aircraft Noise Monitoring System (FANOMOS) for flight analysis and monitoring.
- Visualisation and assessment of AWE operations using advanced tools and systems.
- Providing expertise on safety, airworthiness, and certification aspects of AWE systems, including investigations into rules and legislation.
- Advanced analysis and optimisation of wind energy systems, including structural design and strength, endurance, or quality testing of components.
