China tests 4,000-meter high-altitude wind power station

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Chinese consortium has successfully completed the initial flight validation for its S4000 tethered airborne wind-energy system. The system successfully lifted a lightweight generator to an altitude of 4,000 meters, aiming to harness stronger and more consistent winds at higher elevations. This marks a significant step towards deploying this innovative power generation technology, with full deployment anticipated by September 2026. AI
