Jean-Baptiste Crismer graduated with its bachelor in civil engineering at ULiege in 2019. Then, he moved to UCLouvain where he reveiveid his master degree in electro-mechanical engineering in 2021. His Master Thesis presents a study on the impact of yaw-based wind farm optimization strategies and their combination with load reducing Individual Pitch Control. He was supervised by Professor Chatelain. He is now continuing his education with a PhD on Airborne Wind Energy Sytems, at UCLouvain, under the supervision of Professor Winckelmans.

In Belgium, the last offshore sites likely to host wind farms are being exploited. It arises the question: How to increase the power production of existing wind farms? The idea is thus to investigate the feasibility of adding Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) on top of existing wind farms to increase their energy production. No simulation tools allow to take into account complex control, unsteady aerodynamics, turbulent inflow and aeroelastic behaviour for AWES. The BORNE (Belgian Offshore aiRborne wind Energy) project, in collaboration with UGent, will firstly intend to close this gap, to then provide insight with simulations of different scenarios. The contributions of UCLouvain focuses on the accurate modelling of AWES wings aerodynamics (rigid or kites) and provide accurate Large Eddy Simulations (LES). The first step is the aerodynamic characterisation of such wings. Then a simple model based on the Prandtl lifting line theory has been developed. Improvements will be made on the actual actuator line model to best represent AWES, considering aerodynamics and aeroelasticity. Stall will be considered by using semi-empirical dynamic stall models to take into account the unsteady behaviour of AWES. Finally AWES will be studied in atmospheric boundary layer, turbulent wind and in interaction with wind turbines wakes.
