Collaborative Research for Feasibility and Optimization Modeling of Future Wind Energy Sources in Central Kazakhstan
As part of a development project between the United States and Kazakhstan's universities which was organized by the American Councils for International Education, Department of Informatics of the Eurasian National University L.N. Gumilyov (ENU) by name together with Toraigyrov University (ToU) received grants for the development of partnerships with the American University of Texas, Rio Grande.
Funded by the US Embassy in Nur-Sultan, the project aims to create sustainable international collaboration and partnerships between US and Kazakh universities in the areas of curriculum development, research, and capacity building in the field of renewable energy.
Building partnerships between universities, focuses on building a computer performance model and optimizing wind farms using augmented reality (AR). Within the framework of the project, it was also proposed to develop a new course on renewable energy for students of ENU and ToU.
About the Program
The main goal of the project is to build a computer model for performance and optimization of wind farms (renewable energy source) using augmented reality. Computer rendering of the action of wind turbines using augmented reality will allow the operator to model the performance of this renewable energy source for diQerent input input parameters. Digital devices based an AR will allow monitoring and trouble-shooting of diQerent components in real time. The advantage of AR is that it allows us to model the performance of wind turbines close to real-life situations and can be useful for their construction, particularly to cut down the instances of failure that can happen in real-life situations.
The proposed project consists of the following components that cover these three directions: research, education, and international collaboration. Namely,
1) Modeling and optimization of future wind energy harvesting in Kazakhstan with augmented reality as a simulation tool.
2) Development of a new educational component (new course) to train future workforce for the emerging industry of renewable energy sources.
3) Enhancement of the international collaboration between the Universities of US and Kazakhstan by strengthening the existing partnership between UTRGV and ENU and ToU.
