Traditional wind turbine system Wind energy is one of the most popular renewable energies in the world. However, the generation of a strong and steady wind flow is not easy to achieve.

What is Airborne wind turbine ?

Airborne wind energy regards the generation of usable power by airborne devices.

It contrast to towered wind turbines. Airborne wind system are either flying

freely in the air or are connected by a tether to the ground like kite or tethered balloons.

How it works,

It turns out that all airborne wind energy system with significant power output are mechanically connected to the ground in order to exploit the relative velocity between the air mass and the ground .

In fact to be able to harvest wind power, they need to maintain a storage force against this motion .

They can be connected to a stationery ground station, or to another moving , but non flying object like a land or sea vehicle.Power is generated in form of a traction force.

The airborne wind turbine technology can be categorized under four major types based on

their design concept: O Kite type O Balloon type O Kytoon type

(Combined Kite & Balloon)

O Tethered auto gyro type

KITE TYPE:A research on airborne wind turbine technology innovations reveals that the “Kite type AWTs” technique, the most common type, has high scope of growth in the future

Balloon type and Kytoon type The “Balloon type AWTs”

extract energy from wind turbines carried aloft using balloons.

The “Kytoon type AWTs” utilize both kite and balloon arrangements for generating power from high altitude winds.

The traditional wind turbines also face a few challenges as below

O Conventional wind turbines O Produce varying power due to inconsistent

and unpredictable wind conditions O Are noisy O Impact visual and aesthetic of the region O Affect wild life

Drawbacks of traditional wind turbine system

O No wind, no workO The wind doesn’t blow

every timeO Unreliable source of energy O Dangerous for birds O Noise and electro magnetic

wavesO Electromagnetic waves are

disturb the TV and RADIO signals

Advantages of Airborne1. An advantage of this configuration is the

extremely low weight per square meter of the airborne part of the system .

2. The advantage is that they can stay airborne in the absence of wind indefinitely , and without power consumption.

Disadvantages a. It is physically

impossible to install every place.

b. Availability of land space is the another drawback

c. The major problem is interaction of environmental impacts ..
