Target market:

In a first step the renewable power market is the target market.

There are some renewable power markets with a purchase commitment they are the preferred markets.

These are for example Germany, France, Japan, …

50 % of the mankind lives in a surrounding of 200 km closed to the coast.

In many industrial countries, urban areas are directly at the coast (GB; USA; Japan; China; Spain; South Korea; ...) for this reason, there is no need to develop the national grid.

There is also very often an area with a very low population closed to an urban centre.

In this case it is also not necessary to invest in the development of the national grid.

The network usage charge for inter-country transmission networks can therefore be calculated as part of the selling price. This can increase the sales per MWh in opposite to other power stations.

The goal is to get an approved area of a wind park in the sea or in an area with less population.

Strategic target market:

The whole power market is the strategic market.

The potential of high-altitude wind power is very high.

The Harvard Gazette published at the 5th March in 2009 that:

"In the United States alone, wind maps show that the potential for energy generation is in the range of 8,000 gigawatts. That’s equivalent to 8,000 modern coal-fired energy plants."

and

"Proponents of high-altitude wind power claim that tapping just one percent of its potential could power everything on Earth."

The forecast from the International Energy Agency for the electricity consumption in 2050 is up to 150 % more than 2022, the main reason for this is, the net zero emission in 2050 or 2060 from different countries.

In 2022 the electricity consumption was around 28 000 TWh in 2050 it can be 70 000 TWh.

This cannot be produced by the existing renewable power technologies.

At the moment the best places for the onshore wind power stations are occupied; the offshore wind power stations are going more into the sea and requires a floating foundation.

The solar power is installed related to the actual technology.

The actual technologies of renewable energy go to their limits, with high-altitude wind power stations it is possible to produce the additional 42 000 TWh per year to reach the net zero emission goals.

At the moment there is no limit of placing high-altitude wind power stations, related to the places, where this can be possible.

By installing just one row of high-altitude wind power stations along selected coastlines

(west coast Europe, east and west coast USA, east coast China, west coast Japan, west coast India, east coast Australia) at a height between 9 800 and 10 000 m it is already possible to produce 92 000 TWh per year.

Due to this fact it is possible to produce the additional electricity up to 2050 from high-altitude wind power stations.

Furthermore, for the production of green hydrogen, several high-altitude wind power stations can be placed around coasts, in deserts or in the oceans.

Closed to the high-altitude wind power stations, there are plants to produce green hydrogen.

The green hydrogen can be forwarded by ships to coast or for the areas with less population with trucks or by train.

One other advantage is that it is possible to have a medium (hot air) that is easy to storage and to change in a fast way into power, like a traditional pumped storage power plant or the new approach with battery racks. The investment in battery racks are at least around 250 USD/kWh. For one of the biggest the MOSS landing energy storage facility was the investment amount 560 Mio USD for 3000 MWh.

In this approach of a high-altitude wind power station, it is possible to storage several thousands of cubic meter hot air in a sphere with around a diameter of 100 meter. In this case it is possible to storage 1600 MWh only in one sphere.

The potential of the high-altitude wind power station is more than only for producing renewable energy, it is also possible to produce green hydrogen and reduce the fossil fuels like gas, coal or oil.

The world energy outlook 2023 from the International Energy agency forecasted for 2050 in the net zero emission 24,3 million barrels oil per day (15 030 TWh) and for gas 919 billion (Mrd in Europe) cubic metres. These are around 9190 TWh per year. As well as 63 million tonnes of coal equivalent for coal (732 TWh).

To do a forecast it is difficult to give amounts that can be changed additionally in green hydrogen, but it should be possible for gas, if power is produced or in the industry sector.

The same is for the coal sector if power is produced or in the industry, the power and the industry sector for replacing it with green hydrogen.
