Altaeros Energies , a company that builds wind turbines, has completed the design for highest wind turbine, which is located at a height of 305 meters above the ground. The project, called BAT (BUOY Airborne Turbine), is the first floating wind turbine (floating) in air and mounted in Alaska.
This solution is considered extremely flexible, inexpensive and ideal for communities in remote areas without access to a conventional power supply. The turbine can provide enough energy to power more than 12 ordinary houses with all necessary utilities. It can be transported and set up quickly without the need for large cranes and tall or strong foundations that can prevent wind projects in some areas more difficult to access.
This new model can successfully replace wind generator power generators fired at much lower prices. Target customers include remote communities and islands with small mining or oil and gas, farms, telecommunications companies, organizations, disaster relief, and military bases.
The system uses an inflatable balloon filled with helium, which can be raised at high altitudes, where winds are stronger and more consistent. The balloon actually a small balloon is anchored to the ground with high strength cables that send and electricity from the earth. They are calculated to withstand the wind storm intensity level for tens of years, can support other communication equipment have heavy and multiple security features, including the provision of a slow descent to the ground. The pilot project in Alaska is more than 80 feet taller than the tallest wind turbine mounted far (Denmark, the Østerild, Vestas V164-8.0 MW, with a height of 220 meters).
Could this be the future of wind power or green?
