AWEC2020 Teleconference * Use
upper winds to make the world better!
Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) workers explore, develop, and test energy-kite systems that generate electricity, propel ships and boats, and fulfill other practical tasks. This year they are gathering online through digital works and meetings through AWEC2020 Teleconference without traveling personally. An open source e-book will gather participants' meetings' recordings, essays, reports, papers, photographs, posters, and more. That ebook will be available free to the world following the close of 2020. Follow these matters at http://www.energykitesystems.net/AWEC2020Teleconference Target discussion tracks include having energy kite systems serve agricultural scenes, obtaining water from clouds, pulling railed cars, flying free in any direction in the atmosphere for transportation using double-kite systems, and more. But a dominant track regards generating electricity by kite systems (airborne wind energy systems (AWES)) for feeding electricty into electric grids. The public is invited to ask questions about AWE, kite energy. Answers will be published online free; email addresses will be kept private and not forwarded to any third party without permission. Those asking a question will also receive a direct answer through email; there will be no advertising in responses. So, World, ask your kite-energy questions! Or your AWE questions! World, send your questions to: q@KiteEnergy.org Letters to the editor: editor@kiteenergy.org For participants' entries: awec2020@kiteenergy.org Give AWE ideas for us to consider: AWE@kiteenergy.org ============================================= * The teleconference is hosted by kPower; the conference has historical roots in the HAWP Conference held in 2009 at Chico, California. |
