The world's first megawatt-class high-altitude wind power system designed for urban deployment — the S2000 Stratosphere Airborne Wind Energy System (SAWES) — successfully completed a test flight in Yibin, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, on Monday.
Featuring a simpler structure, lower land requirements, and reduced environmental impact, the S2000 SAWES can be deployed at altitudes of up to 2,000 meters, with a single-unit power output of about 3 megawatts.
