Abstract

Wind-powered thermal energy system (WTES) is the novel idea for utilizing renewable energy as the base-load power source. WTES employs a light and economical heat generator at the top of the tower to convert the rotating energy to the thermal energy. The thermal energy is transferred to the thermal energy storage system, which cost is 1/20 of the batteries. The application of the superconductor to the heat generator enables a higher operating temperature, which leads to the higher efficiency and better use of energy in areas such as fuel production. This paper also describes the situation of energy throughout the world to explain the necessity of WTES.
