Entrepreneurship Energy Alternative Energy Physics Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Actuator DBD Active Flow Control Small Business Innovation Research SBIR Wind Energy Wind Turbine Case Study Startup Market Entry Boundary Labs, LLC is an early-stage company composed of three students at Case Western Reserve University which aimed to evaluate the feasibility of commercialization of a novel dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator as an active flow control (AFC) method in wind turbines. The hypothesized benefits of DBD plasma actuators for AFC include improved energy capture from wind, low cost, and ease of implementation. This thesis is a two-part case study. The first part emulates a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Proposal for the technology and includes discussions arguing that a strong commercial potential for the proposed technology exists in the United States and that technical development is feasible. The second part includes miscellaneous sections outside the scope of an SBIR proposal, leading to a discussion of the Boundary Labs team decision to discontinue development of this technology. 2018 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1536947431190003 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1536947431190003 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
