How can one harness wind energy in troposphere region?

We can see huge wind-turbines - wind-farms - almost all over the world - the typical turbine producing 5 megawatts and feeding it to the grid. These are earth-bound, though some of them are "floating" - meaning they are installed in the Sea, to take advantage of the continuous wind. read more

Your question is if we can harness wind-energy in the troposphere. read more

For a succesful wind energy project, the main requirement is steady wind flow with velocity fluctuations that are not too high. Wind systems on land are more erratic (due to topography, mainly) than on open water; that's why offshore wind farms are preferred by most countries. read more

Students are introduced to the ways that engineers study and harness the wind. They learn about the different kinds of winds and how to measure wind direction. In addition, they learn how air pressure creates winds and how engineers design and test wind turbines to harness renewable wind energy. read more
