Introduction
Jati n Savaliya Wind Energy: A concept of Hig h Alti tude of Wind Turbine
Why High Altitude Wind
Energy ?
Power generation through wind is given by:
1
P = ρAν3 (1)
2
Where, ρ = Air density,
A = Area swept by blade of wind turbine,
ν = Wind speed
Above equation shows dependency of power generation on
wind speed.
Power generation increases with cube of wind speed.
Wind tends to blow faster and more constantly at higher
altitude.
Surface topography, feature and shear between circulating
surface reduce wind speed at ground level.

Advantages
Disadvantages
Low cost of electrical energy
Very young and developing
for consumers
technology
Noise free operation
Complex technology
Do not produce any
Need of more sophisticated
pollutant or GHG
automatic control
Material saving due to
Require continuous
elimination of heavy tower
monitoring of equipment
It is feasible generate energy
Devices more prone to
closer to power grid
damage.
Ideal for off grid operation or
Helium leakage is concern
where power is not reliable
for D B R system
Bird and bat friendly
Geographical limitation to
Rapid deployment to disaster ensure safety of society and
areas for power to emergency infrastructure.
