It is the first sophisticated, global high-altitude wind power generator within the study estimated that the ground at a distance of about 1600-40000 ft in height, have enough energy to meet the electricity needs of the world a hundred times. The most advanced wind power stations, wind density of the ground less than 1 kilowatt per square meter. In New York over the rapids in the vicinity, the wind density can reach 16 kilowatts per square meter. If we can overcome the intermittent nature of wind, where the air will be a treasure house of energy with unlimited potential. More importantly, the ideal high-altitude wind generators resource just in the densely populated regions, such as the North American East Coast and China¡¯s coastal areas. University of California scientist Christian Na Ache (Cristina Archer), said: "High energy is really quite amazing. Where have unlimited energy, although not be as stable as we thought. It will not solve all our energy problems The brilliant idea, but it will help us solve this problem. "Christina implemented in collaboration with another scholar, a study published in the" energy "(Energies) magazine. Hundreds of years, we have been in the use of high-density of fossil fuels, sharp increase in oil supply and climate change, worried that green technology to obtain a new life. Unfortunately, the distribution of renewable energy in general open-ended, which means that you need to develop a large area in order to get the energy you need. Therefore, engineers are looking for as much as possible-intensive renewable energy sources. In this case, the high-altitude wind looks very promising. Two design architecture has been in Wind can be the same as the rotating magnets are used for power generation, and with the speed of the speed change. Therefore, a small increase in wind speed can make a significant increase in the number of mechanical energy. High-altitude wind speed very quickly and can spread rapidly on a global scale, while more easily than the surface wind forecasts. These characteristics of high-altitude winds prompted inventors and scientists will eventually hopes at high altitudes, where the wind has always been very strong. In the 20th century, when the energy crisis of 70 years, all kinds of new wind energy concepts continue to emerge, engineers and inventors for a number of design patents to use high-altitude winds. They put forward two main design framework for use ever since. The first is basically in the air to build power stations, power generation at high altitude, and then transported to the ground cable. The second is more like kite, first mechanical energy delivery to the ground, and then from the generator to convert it to electricity. In theory, these two methods are feasible, but has never been implemented before the technical feasibility of two comprehensive and rigorous evaluation. U.S. Department of Energy there was a high-altitude wind turbines projects, the scale is very small, the high-altitude wind turbines characteristics of the first accurate data will come from this project, however, since the 20th century, 80 years of energy prices plummeted during the Reagan administration¡¯s Department of Energy officials will Norway funds for his use, eventually led to its die a natural death. Despite the increasing attention in recent years, the world¡¯s renewable energy development, the project does not re-start, it is not because it is bad, on the contrary, precisely because it is too new and rather remote from reality. Continue to face difficulties U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory spokesman George Douglas (George Douglas), said: "We are now a large extent, who can only stare at the rapid commercialization of the project, such as about 10 years to market the project." KiteGen , Sky Windpower, Magenn, and Makani and other start-ups a few years ago involved in high-altitude wind power development, it now appears they are expected to achieve its objectives ahead of schedule. Christina said: "We from the working prototype is not as imagined so far." However, she also pointed out that these companies without exception are tight-lipped about their experimental data. Magenn¡¯s CFO(Barry Monette), said the company will sell next year, "2-4 units" working prototype, when the "first sum of income" will be into the company account. Magenn the company¡¯s set of machines can operate at a lower height of the next. Mo Nite said: "We do believe that we will become the first company to enter the market unless there are any accidents." In the long run, the use of such machines to the whole city win power supply is still difficult, it is largely because, even if the high-altitude locations where the best year there will be 5% of the time, encountered when the wind blows. Christina papers collaborators, Stanford University ecologist Ken Caldera, said: "In other words, you either have a back-up energy, a lot of energy reserves, or own the entire continent, and global network to ensure that wind power can be used rate. Therefore, despite the high-altitude winds may eventually prove to be an important source of energy, but it needs a sound infrastructure. Related Questions: 1.
