Abstract

Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) technologies are fundamentally new and different from traditional wind turbines which have a tower and blades, (AWE) has other unique features regarding cost, transportation, installation, and even the method of generation.(Weber et al., 2019.) Many companies across the globe are developing large kites and aircraft to capture wind energy high up in the sky, these kites and aircraft can reach an altitude up to half a mile above the ground, (Gordon 2023) The generating stations are either based on the ground or airborne, so what are the differences between all of them and which is better? Wind energy has emerged as a promising renewable energy source worldwide, and Jordan is no exception. With its vast potential for harnessing wind power, Jordan has been actively exploring the possibilities of integrating wind energy into its energy mix. For that providing a wind distribution map for all Jordan governorates, to know the possibility of implementing the airborne energy project in Jordan.
