Energy From the Sky: How Drones Can Generate Electricity

Dr. Duc H. Nguyen has received funding to research Airborne Wind Energy Systems, aiming to improve their safety and efficiency for potential commercialization and a significant role in achieving the UK’s net-zero emissions.

Drones could be crucial in achieving the UK’s net-zero objectives by harvesting wind energy. Dr. Duc H. Nguyen, a Lecturer in Flight Dynamics and Control at the University of Bristol, has received a £375,000 grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to further explore Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES).
