The wind power realms of Paul Gipe

"Please note that I am not an engineering consultant.
I write and lecture on the subject of wind energy
and increasingly on other sources of renewable energy as well
."

AWE realm:
  • In a reference to his readers he directs people to AeroVironment, Inc., which company held early AWE researcher Dr. Paul MacCready.   
     
  • 2012:  Paul Gipe met with EnerKite in Husum, Germany (important international wind energy trade fair, Husum WindEnergy)   18-22 Sept. 2012.   EnerKite GmbH  exhibited AWES progress.

Non-AWE realm:
Opportunity and vision editorial by Upper WindPower:
  • We anticipate future coverage of AWE by Paul Gipe.
     
  • We anticipate that Paul Gipe will address the super resource of upper wind energy reachable by tethered-wing systems.
     
  • We anticipate that his leadership will help enable conventional wind to bring its resources into AWE ventures.
     
  • "an upper-wind revolution may in fact be our best shot at really displacing fossil fuel and oil."  ds, 2Oct2012
      
  • "Sky Sails already met the multi-megawatt commercial mark in direct ship bunker diesel displacement"  ds, 2Oct2012
     
  • "What if one could avoid needing a massive tower and just use 'string'? What if by using string, one then accesses smoother wind at double or triple velocity with far greater availability? What if the Low Complexity "Rag and String" AWE design space slashed conventional wind capital-cost requirements?"  ~ ds, 2Oct2012
     
  • Yet, perhaps the stellar authorship and service career in conventional wind by Paul Gipe need not enter the AWE era. We honor his service as is.  But he is welcome to take a new higher flight, time permitting!
