Braking solutions for airborne wind energy systems

摘要

When AWES developer was looking for braking systems that would meet the unique, specific requirements of its applications, Altra Renewables offered an ideal solution. Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) are one of the latest and most promising technologies to produce electricity from renewable resources. They use tethered aircrafts, or other flying objects, to harvest high-altitude winds that blow at heights above 300m from the ground. By exploiting the fast, persistent and less turbulent speeds of high-altitude winds, AWES can generate power at unprecedented levels.
