Wind and MHK research: layout optimization and environmental impacts

  • Evaluating wind farm performance under realistic thermal and complex terrain conditions: on going experimental investigartion in the SAFL atmospheric wind tunnel
  • Offshore wind power plants: on going project with floating and oscillating wind turbines: experiments are performed in the SAFL main channel and in the SAFL atmospheric wind tunnel
  • MHK research :   ongoing project studying the impact of single or multiple MHK device(s) on river geomorphology, bedforms evolution and sediment transport .
  • EOLOS Research On going experiment at Umore Park, UMN; fully monitored 2.5MW turbine synchronized with Atmospheric and Micrometeorological data from a nearby Met Tower
