Did anybody try to build wind farm on top of top of Mt. Everest where there is constant high wind?

Answer 1

G'day Pxn11,

Thanks for your question.

Mount Everest is too steep for wind farming or any commercial use.

I attach sources for your reference

Answer 2

It's been seriously proposed to build huge balloons with wind turbines on board, tether them to the ground and let out the line until they're at jet stream altitude over Australia, about the altitude of Everest or a bit higher. There are some obvious difficulties, one of which is that the jet stream wiggles around and changes its position.

Answer 3

probably not. While there is constant wind there isn't a stable place to put them. Each turbine requires approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of an acre of land. Also, the cost in connecting the turbines to a power grid would be astronomical.

Answer 4

There's a lot more more to choosing a good site for wind power than wind.

You need easy access for construction equipment. You need to be close to existing power lines to get your power into the system without having to run expensive power lines very far. You need an area where people can live to operate and maintain the equipment.

It helps if the site is near to suppliers of wind power equipment and near to a place where people can use the power to be produced.

Everest is completely hopeless for every one of those things. It may have wind, but it is terrible as a potential site for wind power.

Answer 5

there are a lot of things to consider in building a wind farm.first is u must consider how would u bring ur materials in everest in building ur wind farm.2nd is u must also consider ur consumers..is there really a great demmand for it to build one in everest?3rd is consider how would u transmit the power u have generated..if u would transmit it in the lowland,then there will be a large power loss in the lines...and a lot more.... to sum it up, it is not a sensible idea to build a wind farm in everest....

Answer 6

There are far more hospitable places to build wind farms than there. You need to be able to transmit the powered economically from the wind farm to the power grid. Nepal doesn't fit that bill too well.

Answer 7

The answer is no because the cost of building a wind farm in a rigor environment will output less than expenditure input.

Answer 8

some homes including wind turbines have already efficiently used this source of capacity. different turbines used water to capacity their turbines. image voltaic capacity seems to be the main capacity generative source of renewable potential, distinctly on the suitable of tall homes in cities. I even have tried finding for small wind turbines to try this concept out, and there is merely not something there interior the shops I even have been to. It capacity that the government's plans to get small wind turbines on each and every domicile seems to be per some misconstrued lunacy. The info do not upload up, nor does the cost earnings diagnosis. There are some small wind capacity turbines that are used interior the outback of Australia and usa which you will locate on the internet. although, exceedingly much devoid of exception you will locate that image voltaic capacity is accompanied over wind in those countries. i could want to attempt some small scale rain capacity turbines, (i.e powered be the rigidity of gravity from water, hail, snow falling from the sky), small scale wind capacity turbines, and different small scale electrical energy turbines earlier i could even evaluate permitting some costly contractor to place in some nonsense on my roof.

Answer 9

Too cold to carry materials up there. Any volunteers?

Answer 10

it would be a better idea if they built oxygen devices along the way.
better yet signs along the way that say go back stupid.
