Wind data Airborne Wind Europe

Analysis supports the benefits of Airborne Wind Energy

The analysis concludes that most Western European places have mean wind speeds that are 1-2 m/s higher at 500m than at 100m. This increase in available wind speeds translates into a higher amount of available wind power. The analysis thus supports the assumption that airborne wind energy systems will reach higher capacity factors and produce cheaper electricity compared to traditional wind turbines.
