Chinese Company Tests World's First Megawatt-Class Airborne Wind Energy System
A Chinese energy company has successfully tested the S2000 airborne wind energy system, achieving an altitude of 2,000 meters and delivering 385 kilowatt-hours to the grid. This innovative 3-megawatt system, designed for high-altitude power generation and optimized wind flow, aims to support off-grid applications and enhance wind farms. The company plans to establish a production base in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, with an annual output target of 200,000 linear meters by 2026, increasing to 800,000 by 2028.

A Chinese energy company successfully tested the S2000 airborne wind energy system in Yibin, Sichuan Province, reaching 2,000 meters altitude and delivering 385 kilowatt-hours to the grid. The 3-megawatt system utilizes a helium-filled aerostat and is designed for high-altitude power generation.
It features a ducted structure for optimized wind flow and is intended for off-grid applications and to supplement wind farms. The company has begun small-scale production and plans a production base in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, with an annual output of 200,000 linear meters by 2026, expanding to 800,000 by 2028.
