INTRODUCTION
• Wind is a clean, renewable energy source.
• Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES) is a high altitude
energy extraction technology.
• Normally the wind turbine work at low altitude (below 400
feet), but at low altitude wind has low speed and is non-
steady.
• But the AWES work at higher altitude (600-1000 feet), and
at higher altitude wind has high velocity and is turbulence
free.
• At high altitude wind is more persistent, so capacity factor
for wind turbine can increase[1].
HISTORY
LIFT FORCE:
The lift force is acting perpendicular to the body surface.
DRAG FORCE:
Drag force acting in effective wind’s direction[1].
CLASSIFICATION OF
AIRBORNE WIND ENERGY
Ground-Base Power Generation
On-Board Power Generation
Multiple Wing System
Lighter Than Air System
As both the drum and generator can be placed on the ground, we call
this concept ground-based generation or traction power generation.
For continuous operation; one has to periodically retract the tether.
Two phase are there, power production phase is also called reel-out
phase, and the retraction phase or reel-in phase[5,6].
This allows one to reel in the tether with a much lower energy
investment than what was gained in the power production phase.
