Foreign media: Chinese scientists are about to make a breakthrough in airborne wind turbine technology, and the world's first megawatt-level system is about to take flight. This airborne wind power generation system resembles a blimp and can provide electricity to remote areas and disaster-stricken areas where traditional power supply is unavailable or insufficient.
The system's output power is more than 30 times that of the best systems in other countries, and it is expected to turn the scientific concept proposed by scientist Qian Xuesen in 1957 into reality.
Recently, the Chief Technology Officer of Beijing SAWES Energy Technology Company announced that its latest 1-megawatt power generation unit is preparing for a test flight. The system was developed in collaboration with SAWES, Tsinghua University, and the Institute of Space Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In January this year, a small-scale test was conducted at a testing base in Jiangxi. A white blimp measuring 30 meters long and 15 meters wide was lifted to an altitude of 1,000 meters and hovered in the wind, transmitting power to the ground, proving the feasibility of the technology on a small scale.
