Politecnico di Milano

Politecnico di Milano is the largest technical university in Italy. The current research activities on airborne wind energy are in the Safe Automation Systems Laboratory (SAS-Lab) at the university’s Leonardo campus and the Wind Energy Lab (Poli-Wind) at the Bovisa campus. This is also the location of the Politecnico di Milano Wind Tunnel GVPM, which is a closed-circuit wind tunnel with two test sections: the first one suitable for Low Turbulence – High-Speed tests, the second one (Boundary Layer Test Section), bigger, is used for civil testing. This offers the widest possible range of test arrangements.
