Research on Jet Stream Power Generation (Part 3)

Conceptual Study

Abstract

Economical power generation is expected from a jet stream since it has about 30 times higher energy density than other renewable energy resources. Moreover, Japan is most blessed with the jet stream energy in the world. Summary of our power generation concept and high-altitude flying capability by a large kite have already been described in Part 1 and Part 2. In this paper: Part 3, conceptual design of our entire power generation system and its economic aspects are described.
