High-altitude wind power generation / Lorenzo Fagiano in IEEE transactions on energy conversion, Vol. 25 N° 1 (Mars 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on energy conversion > Vol. 25 N° 1 (Mars 2010) . - pp. 168 - 180 Titre : High-altitude wind power generation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lorenzo Fagiano, Auteur ; Milanese, M., Auteur ; Piga, D., Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 168 - 180 Note générale : energy conversion Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : numerical  analysis;  wind  power  plants;  wind  turbines Résumé : The paper presents the innovative technology of high-altitude wind power generation, indicated as Kitenergy, which exploits the automatic flight of tethered airfoils (e.g., power kites) to extract energy from wind blowing between 200 and 800 m above the ground. The key points of this technology are described and the design of large scale plants is investigated, in order to show that it has the potential to overcome the limits of the actual wind turbines and to provide large quantities of renewable energy, with competitive cost with respect to fossil sources. Such claims are supported by the results obtained so far in the Kitenergy project, undergoing at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, including numerical simulations, prototype experiments, and wind data analyses.
