High-Altitude Wind Energy: A Frontier of Renewable Energy
Prof. Lorenzo Fagiano, a faculty member in the Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano, as well as the coordinator of the degree program and lecturer in the Master’s program in Automation and Control Engineering for the course “Numerical Optimization for Control”, is among the experts interviewed in an article by INFOBUILD | INFOBUILDENERGIA dedicated to the advantages and challenges of high-altitude wind energy.
This innovative technology aims to harness the stronger and more consistent winds found at higher altitudes, offering new opportunities for sustainable energy production while reducing environmental impact compared to traditional solutions. However, its development requires overcoming significant technological challenges, which researchers like Prof. Fagiano and his team at the Safe Automation Systems Laboratory (SAS-Lab) are actively tackling.
