High Altitude Wind Power Generation Marks a New Milestone in the Renewable Energy Roadmap, Finds Frost & Sullivan
High altitude wind energy, if developed and executed effectively, has the potential to replace a significant percentage of the power generated from oil and traditional wind turbines. Turbines in conventional windmills are located at heights ranging from 100 meters to 200 meters; however, wind flow is more consistent and quicker at altitudes above 500 meters. Therefore, winds at this altitude ...
