FLOATING WIND TURBINE IN THE AIR
Latest design of wind turbine able floating of in air and can install a very special cylinder shaped balloon allow floating wind turbine to use easily to transport.
Unlike the ground planted towers, and take advantages of
maximum strength and stability which usually possess wind at high altitudes
without build soaring towers.In fact, this type of floating wind turbine can
operate higher altitude than the tallest wind turbine.
Floating wind turbine balloon company Altaeros Energies,
founded by Adam Rein and Ben Glass, Former students of Massachusetts Institute
of technology in Cambridge United State.
This floating wind turbine use warp shaped cylinder filled
with helium, to float as high as skyscraper and capture more strong and stable
wind at that altitude. This system called BAT.
Which has shown to produce the power twice than the similar
size turbine mounted on towers. Surrounded by circular frame inflatable (10.7
meter) 35 feet long, made of same durable fabric used in zeppelins and
sails.
The BAT altitude held between 300 and 600 meters (Between
1000 and 2000 Feet), where winds blow five to eight times greater with one
strength, and more continuous manner as well. The winds at the top of the
tower, a typical height approximately between 30 and 90 meters (100 to
300 feet).
Three wires connected to the BAT in ground station
rotating; automatically adjust altitude to strongest wind possible. The power
generated by turbine decreased by one wire from ground station where electricity
supplies needed.
In next year BAT tasted its ability to energized small grids
in South Fairbanks, Alaska, in 18 month trial.
Population of rural Alaska depends on electric generator
powered by fossil fuels for electricity paying $1 kilowatt hour of electricity.
The BAT which has 30 KW capacities, to low the cost of kilowatt-hour about 18
cents.
300 meters of altitude, the pilot commercial scale of BAT in
Alaska will be 83 meters (275 feet) more than the floating wind turbine current
record Vestas V164-8.0-MW.
Vestas has recently installed his first prototype in
National Danish Center of trail for great turbine Eolicas in Osterild with 140
meter height (460 feet) and some blades which tips reach 219 meters (720 feet).
Despite its efficiency BAT is not designed to replace
conventional turbines mounted on towers, but bring the wind power to area that
are disconnected from the large electric networks, where the wind towers are
not practical or feasible economically.
Construction of conventional floating wind turbines, needs
ton of concrete and the use of cranes which can be difficult to maneuver in
some places. Modular BAT can be transported dismantled in two trucks, and
arriving at the site of its deployment.
simply inflate it and leave it, itself rises in the air and
start working. In such places, the power supply has often making through very
expensive fossil fuel-fed generators.
The potential user of new floating wind turbine would be
community and or island telecommunications companies, mining, agricultural, or
oil and gas, organizations and military bases providing aid in case of
disasters.
Altaeros is focused on commissioning commercial technology
in Alaska and then, later, try to deploy the technology in other world.
