Umqondo ngemuva kwe-Alphabet's Makani ( I-Google ngo-2014) izokwenzeka ekuthumeleni ama-kite obuchwepheshe obuphezulu (ama-drones aboshiwe) amakhulu amamitha esibhakabhakeni ukuze akhiqize ugesi esebenzisa imimoya engaguquki. Ngenxa yobuchwepheshe obunjalo, ngisho nokukhiqizwa kwamandla omoya ubusuku nemini kungenzeka. Kodwa-ke, ubuchwepheshe obudingekayo ukuze kusetshenziswe ngokugcwele lolu hlelo lusathuthukiswa.
Inqwaba yezinkampani nabacwaningi abazinikele ekudaleni ubuchwepheshe bamandla phezulu esibhakabhakeni babuthane engqungqutheleni ebiseGlasgow, eScotland ngeledlule. Bethule imiphumela yocwaningo, izivivinyo, izivivinyo zenkundla nezifaniso ezichaza ukusebenza nokusebenza kahle kwezindleko kobuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene obuchazwa ngokuhlangene njengamandla omoya womoya (AWE).
Ngo-Agasti, i-Alameda, i-Makani Technologies yase-Calif. yandizisa izindiza zokubonisa izinjini zomoya ezihamba ngomoya, inkampani ezibiza ngokuthi ama-power kites, eNorth Sea, cishe amakhilomitha angu-10 ukusuka ogwini lwaseNorway. Ngokusho kwesikhulu esiphezulu seMakani u-Fort Felker, ukuhlolwa koLwandle lwaseNyakatho bekuwukwethulwa nokuhlalisa indiza, okulandelwa ukuhlolwa kwendiza lapho ikhayithi yahlala khona ihora emoyeni ezivunguvungwini ezinamandla. Lezi kwakuyisivivinyo sokuqala senkampani sasolwandle salezi zinjini zomoya. I-Makani, nokho, indizela phesheya kwezilwandle izinguqulo zayo ezihlukahlukene zamandla e-California nase-Hawaii.
βNgo-2016, saqala ukwethula ngokuwela imimoya - kule modi, amandla akhiqizwa ohlelweni lwethu - amakhithi ethu angu-600 kW. Sisebenzise imodeli efanayo lapho sihlola eNorway,β kusho uMnu. Felker. Uma kuqhathaniswa, ikhayithi yesibili enamandla kakhulu esebenzisa umoya ngaphansi kokuthuthukiswa namuhla iyakwazi ukukhiqiza ama-kilowatts angu-250. "Indawo yethu yokuhlola eHawaii igxile ekwakheni uhlelo lwekite yamandla ukuze lusebenze ngokuzibusa ngokuqhubekayo."
Izivivinyo zaseNorwegian zibonisa izinzuzo ze-AWE. Yakhelwe ngokwengxenye yiRoyal Dutch Shell Plc, imodeli kaMakani engu-26m M600 idinga kuphela ibhoyi engaguquki ukuze isebenze. Injini yomoya evamile ibhekana nemithwalo yomoya enamandla kakhulu emaceleni ayo amakhulu futhi kufanele ibekwe iqine ezakhiweni ezibambelele phansi olwandle. Ngakho-ke, amanzi oLwandle Olusenyakatho, lapho ukujula kufinyelela kumamitha angu-220, awafaneleki ama-turbines omoya endabuko, ngokuvamile angasebenza kuphela ekujuleni okungaphansi kwamamitha angu-50.
Njengoba u-CTO Doug McLeod achaza engqungqutheleni ye-AWEC2019, amakhulu ezigidi zabantu abahlala eduze nolwandle abanawo amanzi angashoni eduze ngakho-ke awekho amandla omoya asogwini lolwandle. βOkwamanje, abukho ubuchwepheshe obukhona obungasebenzisa amandla omoya ngokwezomnotho ezindaweni ezinjalo,β kusho uMnu. McLeod. βNgobuchwepheshe bukaMakani, sikholwa wukuthi kuzokwazi ukusebenzisa lo mthombo ongakasetshenziswa.β
I-buoy ye-airframe i-M600 yenziwe ngezinto ezikhona zamapulatifomu kawoyela negesi, esho. I-M600 iyindiza eyodwa engenamuntu enophephela abayisishiyagalombili abaphakamisela i-drone esibhakabhakeni isuka endaweni eqondile ku-buoy. Uma ikhayithi selifinyelele ukuphakama - i-tether njengamanje inweba amamitha angu-500 - izinjini zizocisha futhi ophephela babe izinjini zomoya ezincane.
Umdidiyeli we-AWEC2019 kanye nosolwazi osebenzisana naye wobunjiniyela bezindiza eDelft University of Technology eNetherlands, uRoland Schmehl, uthe amarotha ayisishiyagalombili anamandla angu-80 kW ngalinye avumele inkampani ukuthi yenze uhlelo oluhlaba umxhwele okuzoba nzima ukuthi ludlulele kwezinye izinkampani. "Umbono uwukukhombisa ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukundiza olwandle ngekhayithi engama-kilowatt angu-600," esho. "Futhi nobukhulu bohlelo kunzima ukuthi abaningi abaqalayo bacabange."
Isikhulu seMakani i-Fort Felker siphawule ukuthi inhloso yezindiza zokuhlola zika-Agasti eNorth Sea kwakungekona ukukhiqiza amandla asondelene namandla okukhiqiza alinganiselwe we-airframe. Kunalokho, inkampani ibiqoqa imininingwane onjiniyela bakwaMakani abangayisebenzisa ukwenza ukulingisa nokuhlola okwengeziwe njengoba beqhubeka nokuthuthukisa uhlelo lwabo.
"Izindiza eziphumelele ziqinisekisile ukuthi ukwethulwa kwenkundla yethu entantayo, amamodeli endiza ahlala phansi kanye nawela umoya anembile ngempela," esho. "Lokhu kusho ukuthi singasebenzisa ngokuzethemba amathuluzi ethu okulingisa ukuze sihlole izinguquko zesistimu-izinkulungwane zamahora okundiza alingisa zizonciphisa ubungozi bobuchwepheshe bethu ngaphambi kokusebenza kwezohwebo."
