Airborne Wind Turbine: A turbine in the air without a tower
Σχετικά με το ebook
An airborne wind turbine is a design concept for a wind turbine with a rotor that is supported in the air without a tower. This allows the wind turbine to take advantage of the greater wind speed and persistence at higher altitudes, while also avoiding the expense of tower construction and the requirement for slip rings or yaw mechanisms. There are two possible locations for an electrical generator: on the ground or in the air. The ability to securely hang and maintain turbines hundreds of meters from the ground in heavy winds and storms is one of the challenges faced. Other challenges include transmitting the electricity that has been gathered and/or created back to land and interfering with aviation.
