Abu Dhabi University (ADU) has been awarded a patent in the field of renewable energy from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
In line with ADU’s commitment to fostering research and innovation, the University’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) supported the project’s development journey, which the US-based federal agency granted the patent in recognition of the pioneering inventions.
As the world shifts toward cleaner and greener energy sources, the patent demonstrated an effective method to increase the sustainability and efficiency of renewable energy generation.
In addition, this achievement aims to provide ADU’s students with a platform to explore into various aspects of renewable energy, such as system optimization, embedded systems, solar tracking algorithms, and many more. Students will also be able to gain hands-on experience and develop their skills and knowledge in cutting-edge energy technologies.
The project, titled as “Deformable model for performance enhancement of photovoltaic-wind hybrid system”, was designed to combine wind and photovoltaic energy sources in one system as an alternative to traditional hybrid systems for these two energy sources.
This model enables precise adjustments to the wind turbine arms by dynamically controlling the tilt of the PV modules at ideal angles to enhance energy production. It presents a distinctive and pioneering approach to integrating wind and photovoltaic energy into one autonomous system that improves energy harvesting rates.
The university emphasized the importance of the patent in advancing the UAE’s renewable energy initiatives and highlighted the role of the awards in fostering innovative solutions that will benefit the students and the community.
