On the way to harness high-altitude wind power: Defining the operational asset for an airship wind generator

Applied Energy, 2013, vol. 112, issue C, 592-600

Abstract: The utilization of high-altitude wind energy potential is a very attractive challenge. This is mainly due to the perspective of producing a large amount of electricity from a renewable source without using land, and having a very low visibility impact. The wind flow on the upper levels of the surface boundary layer is characterized by good power with low variability of wind conditions.
