AIRBORNE WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS |
| 摘要 |
Wind energy conversion systems including an airborne wing, a tether, a generator, and a control system arranged to communicate with the airborne wing so that the control system directs the airborne wing to follow a predetermined flight path including a power generating phase. The predetermined flight path, during the power generating phase, includes a crosswind flight path of increasing altitude and a plurality of airborne wing turns, at each turn the airborne wing turn around an axis of the airborne wing, so that a vertical airspace for the predetermined flight path during the power generating phase is minimized. |

1. A wind energy conversion system, comprising:
an airborne wing; a tether having an upper end coupled to the airborne wing and a lower end coupled to a winching device; a generator coupled to the tether via the winching device; a control system arranged to communicate with the airborne wing so that the control system directs the airborne wing to follow a predetermined flight path including a power generating phase; and wherein the predetermined flight path, during the power generating phase, includes a crosswind flight path of increasing altitude and having a plurality of airborne wing turns, at each turn the airborne wing flips around an axis of the airborne wing, so that a vertical airspace for the predetermined flight path during the power generating phase is minimized. |
