INTRODUCTION
It is a new design concept for a wind turbine
It was designed and developed by Magenn Power, which is an Ontario based company.
It has distinct advantages over existing Conventional Wind Turbines and Diesel Generating Systems
COST
As in case of conventional wind turbines it does not require
tower
stiff blades
big cranes for installation
foundation blasting and the transport of heavy equipment.
LOCATION
locations of the conventional wind turbines are limited to the high wind blowing areas only
it could not be placed near the power grid therefore the transmission line costs are very high.
WORKING
Airborne wind turbine rotates about a horizontal axis in response to wind
When wind rotates the turbine's blades rotates, It cause an attached generator to also spin
The generator then converts that moving energy of the wind into electricity using electromagnetic induction
After converting this electricity is transferred down the turbine's long tether.
SAFETY FACTORS
This System is equipped with a radar reflective material
It will have a lighting system including individual lights that are placed every 50 feet on its tether
A deflate system (common on all blimps) is available which will be utilized in emergency condition
It will immediately notify the nearest ATC facility of the location, time of escape and the estimated flight path of the balloon.
ADVANTAGES
It provides less expensive per unit of actual electrical energy output than competing wind power systems
It will deliver time-averaged output much closer to its rated capacity
It can be placed closer to demand centers
This is operable over wide range of speeds i.e, b/w 2 to 28 meters/sec.
This System can be raised to higher altitudes
This is mobile and can be easily moved to different locations
This System is bird and bat friendly.
This System creates lower noise and vibrations.
DISADVANTAGES
The only restriction is that Magenn Air Rotary Systems may not operate in controlled airspace or within five miles of the radius of any airport. So as to avoid interference with the flight path.
The Magenn Air Rotary System could not operate during bad weather conditions, due to high wind speeds.
CONCLUSIONS
It would be ideal for the country like India which having vast verities in geographical landmarks to implement such power stations as it could be installed where it could be.
It is the best solution for the power-crises faced by whole world
