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.
