MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641029726 A) filed by Dr. Dipankar Das; and Mukarrum Pasha, Bangalore, Karnataka, on March 12, for 'high altitude wind energy generation system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Dipankar Das; and Mukarrum Pasha.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is a high-altitude wind energy harvesting system. The system includes an airfoil (10) having a fabric or composite wing reinforced by ribs or spars and equipped with adjustable control surfaces configured to vary an angle of attack to generate controllable aerodynamic lift. A tether (20) mechanically couples the airfoil (10) to ground equipment and incorporates at least one load sensor, at least one angular-position sensor, and a swivel joint to mitigate torsional loading. A ground-station assembly (30) includes a reel drum (40) mounted on heavy-duty bearings, a variable-speed generator (50) configured to convert rotational energy during tether payout, a reel-in motor (60) for tether retraction, and a braking assembly (70) for regulating payout speed. A control system (80) interfaces with the tether sensors, the reel-in motor (60), and the braking assembly (70). Executable instructions cause the microcontroller to command high-tension reel-out and low-ten."
