China's first high-altitude wind power project settled in Foshan

January 14 hearing is creating a new energy field an incredible miracle. Meters will be placed in a special high-altitude kite, mechanical energy generated by stretching, and then converted to electrical energy by the generator - which previously only in science fiction, perhaps to appear in the plot and now can be expected to become a reality.
January 13, UNIDO Investment Promotion Department officials in China, Luo ring to the "Daily Economic News" confirmed that: "Next week, China¡¯s first high-altitude wind power project will be signed in Guangdong Foshan, a total project investment 4 billion."

High-altitude wind turbines is superior to the ground

In fact, high-altitude wind power generation is not nothing new. As early as age 70 in the last century, when the outbreak of the global energy crisis, all kinds of high-altitude wind generators design will continue to emerge, the United States, the Netherlands, Italy, other countries have carried out several high-altitude wind power experiment. Experts believe that high-altitude wind speed and stability of the meters than the average wind power generator plant on the ground conditions are much better.

Currently, the most advanced wind power wind density of the ground less than 1 kW / square meter, and our meters altitude wind above the mean density of more than five kilowatts / square meter, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other provinces over the the vicinity of high-altitude jet, the wind density, even up to 30 kW / square meter, for the world.

As our country has excellent conditions for high-altitude wind energy resources in the study of high-altitude wind power, California¡¯s Dr. Zhang Jianjun so she took his skills back to China, in Guangdong has established China¡¯s first high-altitude wind energy research center and the wind turbines tunnel laboratory, and in Guangdong the construction of 100 thousand kilowatts, Foshan¡¯s first-class high-altitude wind power generation system.

In October last year, clean energy at the 2009 International Summit Forum, Zhang Jianjun, introduced his principle of core technologies: glider-like kites as the wind increased, the resulting pull pull cable driven wind generators; When the kite up to the maximum altitude, then kite through the control system to adjust the angle of the wings to make use of their own gravity down. After rising power, and so forth.

It is understood that at present there are two major ways the framework of high-altitude wind power: the first one is the construction of power stations in the air, and then transported to the ground via cable; the second such release "Kite", by stretching produce mechanical energy and then by the wind power generation machine is converted to electrical energy. Zhang Jianjun, technology belongs to release "Kite" a kind of power generation.
