Innovative rotor design of a new airborne wind power system
At several hundred meters above ground level, wind currents are stronger and much more consistent than those close to the ground. To harvest strong wind power at that elevation, a buoyant gas aerostat is used to lift up an electrical generator. Denoted by “Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) wind power turbine”, the system ...
