6 FAQs about [High altitude wind power generation]
Can high-altitude wind power produce electricity?
No high-altitude wind power technology to date has produced a prototype that has been tested long enough to provide a solid record of electricity generation and associated costs. Two basic approaches have been proposed.
What is the highest altitude for wind power?
The highest wind power densities are found at altitudes between 8,000 and 10,000 m above ground, corresponding roughly to the height of the tropopause. The 10,000 m altitude appears to be the maximum height that is worth exploring for high-altitude wind power technologies.
Can high-altitude wind power be patented?
Most of them are still at an early stage of development, in which patents have been obtained but neither a business entity nor a commercial-scale prototype exist. No high-altitude wind power technology to date has produced a prototype that has been tested long enough to provide a solid record of electricity generation and associated costs.
Why is wind power more consistent at high altitudes?
At this height the ABM is exposed to higher velocity, steadier and more persistent winds, therefore resulting in a higher consistency of power generation . The profile of wind power densities with respect to altitudes between 500 m and 12,000 m have been assessed globally .
Can high altitude wind power be used as a resource in Northern Ireland?
This paper presents an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art of high altitude wind power, evaluates the technical and economic viability of deploying high altitude wind power as a resource in Northern Ireland and identifies the optimal locations through considering wind data and geographical constraints.
Where did the high altitude wind data come from?
The high altitude wind data used in this analysis was obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Department of Energy (DOE) AMIP-II Reanalysis (Reanalysis-2) .
