Claims (10)

  1. 電力を生成するシステムであって、
    飛行型発電機と、
    飛行型発電機から地上へ電気を伝達するとともに、飛行型発電機に取り付けられる第1の端部を有するテザー組立品と、
    テザー組立品をドラムへ巻き取るとともに、テザー組立品をドラムから巻き出すウィンチ組立品とを備え、
    ウィンチ組立品は、ドラムに巻き取られたテザー組立品に対しテザー組立品の第1の端
    部にかかる張力よりも低い張力を付与するように構成される、電力生成システム。
  2. 飛行型発電機は、テザー組立品がウィンチ組立品によって巻き出される際に、展開高度まで動力上昇することによりテザー組立品を延ばすとともに、自動回転で降下することにより、テザー組立品にかかる張力を低減する、請求項1に記載の電力生成システム。
  3. ウィンチ組立品は、ドラムの外側に設けられたテーブルと、テーブルに接続する運搬用
    組立品とを備え、
    テーブルは、テザー組立品がドラムへ巻き取られる前にテザー組立品にかかる張力を解
    放し、運搬用組立品は、テザー組立品のウィンチ組立品角度を調整
    運搬用組立品は、テザー組立品の第1の端部の方向を天頂角がおおよそ10−90度となるようにして定めるとともに、テザー組立品の方向を方位角がおおよそ0−270度となるようにして定め、
    ウィンチ組立品は、略0−約10度の巻き取り角度にてテザー組立品をドラムへ巻き取る、請求項1に記載
    の電力生成システム。
  4. ウィンチ組立品は、テザー組立品の長さ方向の張力を調整するとともにテザー組立品をドラムに対して固定する固定用組立品を備え、
    ウィンチ組立品は、メモリーを有する制御器を備え、
    制御器は、テザーに対する固定用組立品の固定位置を記録し、メモリーは、記録された固定位置の保存/読み取りを行う、請求項に記載の電力生成システム。
  5. テザー組立品は、発電機から地上へ電気を伝達する第1のケーブルと、発電機から地上

    方法。
  10. 飛行型発電機に連結されるテザーを取り扱う方法であって、
    飛行型発電機を地上よりも上方の第1の高度に展開する工程と、
    テザーを巻き取ることにより飛行型発電機を巻き取る工程と、
    固定用組立品を用いてテザーを固定する工程と、
    テザーの中で固定用組立品による固定力の付与された第1の位置をトラッキングする工
    程と、
    テザーの中で固定用組立品によってまだ固定されていない第2の位置にてテザーを固定
    する工程とを備える方法。
