We launched a new GitHub organization on airborne wind energy to foster the collaboration of startups and academia.

Airborne wind energy is a promising approach for

  • de-central wind energy harvesting
  • offshore wind energy harvesting, in particular for floating offshore systems
  • clean ship propulsion

Our mission: To develop a software stack for simulation, estimation and control of AWE systems to reduce the initial effort for AWE startups and new PhD researchers, and to provide reference models for stakeholders like the International Energy Agency.

We provide already:

  • a wiki with an overview about the available open source simulation and control software
  • we moved already four of our Julia packages to this organization, more will be moved in the future

Most packages are in Julia, so far one package was contributed in Python.
We also have a common Signal group and a biweekly online call.

Send me a PM if you want to know more, or join us at the Wind Energy Science Conference in Nantes, France where we will present our latest model.

Since the Julia-lang blog has hardly been publishing anything but the newsletter lately, I wonder if a blog post about this Github organization could be published. It looks very interesting and a Julia-lang blog post could give it more recognition, not only within the Julia community, but also in the wind energy community.
