Hello:

You are invited to participate in our expert survey to determine the relative importance of various criteria in country and site selection for the deployment of airborne wind energy systems. In this survey, approximately 20 experts from various backgrounds will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about country and site selection for the deployment of airborne wind energy systems. In case you're unfamiliar with the airborne wind energy concept, please answer the questions from your wind energy expertise. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Ir. Jelle Wijnja at +31(0)614600251 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.

Compare the following criteria according to their relative importance with respect to:

The local visual quality of the landscape at which the airborne wind farm is planned


The scale is explained at the bottom of the page.

For example, checking the box (-8) at 'The national/local wind climate' means that you believe that for the site selection of airborne wind energy systems, 'The national/local wind climate' is extremely less important than 'The local visual quality of the landscape at which the airborne wind farm is planned'.
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
* The national/local wind climate
 
 
Within the 'The national/local wind climate' criterion, compare the subcriteria according to their relative importance with respect to:

The local wind power density


The scale is explained at the bottom of the page.

For example, checking the box (0) at 'National wind energy potential'. This means that you believe that, within the criterion 'The national/local wind climate', the criterion 'The national wind energy potential' is equally important as the 'The local wind power density'.

Compare the following criteria according to their relative importance with respect to:

The current national/local regulatory framework for (airborne) wind energy systems


The scale is explained at the bottom of the page.

For example, checking the box (2) at 'the national/local wind climate' means that you believe that for the site selection of airborne wind energy systems, the national/local wind climate is moderately more important than the current national/local regulatory framework for (airborne) wind energy systems.

Within the 'The current national/local regulatory framework for (airborne) wind energy systems' criterion, compare the subcriteria according to their relative importance with respect to:

Level of standardized aviation regulations


The scale is explained at the bottom of the page.

For example, checking the box (4) at 'Permitting complexity of wind energy farms'. This means that you believe that, within the criterion 'The current national/local regulatory framework for (airborne) wind energy systems', the criterion 'Permitting complexity ' is strongly more important than the 'Level of standardized aviation regulations'.
