A recent research study by ReportLinker, an award-winning market research company, provides an overview of high-altitude wind technology. The study assesses the various technologies currently available to harness high-altitude winds, and looks at how these options differ in cost effectiveness and material use from conventional wind-power generation. The study also provides details about the key participants in the market and the…
Wind-kite concept could capture countless watts
Conventional wind turbines just scratch the surface in a few favorable locations on what is an enormous energy field. They cannot reach upper altitude winds, and conventional designs now are close to dimensional limits. For instance, there is difficultly positioning hubs at over 100 m up, towers grows exponentially heavier and more unstable that previous…
