6 FAQs about [Airborne energy storage equipment]
What is airborne wind energy?
In this framework, a completely new renewable energy sector, Airborne Wind Energy (AWE), emerged in the scientific community. AWE aims at capturing wind energy at significantly increased altitudes. Machines that harvest this kind of energy can be referred to as Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWESs).
What is airborne energy harvesting?
\Airborne" refers to the fact that these systems do not employ a static structure, such as the tower of wind turbines, to constrain the motion of the energy-harvesting element. Rather, the latter exploits the aerodynamic forces to accomplish a prescribed, periodic tra-jectory in the air, enabled by automatic control.
What is the technical potential of airborne wind energy systems?
Assumptions developed in this area, combined with the resource potential and technology assessments, were used to estimate the overall technical potential of airborne wind energy systems, which is the quantity (megawatts [MW]) and quality (megawatt-hours) of available wind resource for AWE development.
What is the airborne wind resource?
Some literature identified the wind resource all the way up to the jet stream at 10 kilometers (km). However, maximum altitudes at which most airborne devices operate are currently below 500 m. Therefore, NREL focused its analysis on the airborne wind resource up to 500 m.
What is ground-generator airborne wind energy systems (GG-AWES)?
In Ground-Generator Airborne Wind Energy Systems (GG-AWES) electrical energy is produced exploiting aerodynamic forces that are transmitted from the aircraft to the ground through ropes. As previously anticipated, GG-AWESs can be distinguished in devices with fixed or moving-ground-station.
Why should airborne systems be based on high altitudes?
Wind movements at high altitudes (e.g. 500m+) are much faster than those close to the surface of the Earth and thus contain much more kinetic energy. Airborne system could, in principle, dynamically adjust its height and orientation to maximize its generation output over time, leading to higher capacity factors and better returns on investment.
