Power generation from jet stream

Due to environmental considerations, the importance of using clean energy has been signified. In this regard, one of the proposed solutions is to generate energy from high- altitude winds or jet streams. On the other hand, in previous research, the issues of the jet stream, the formation of high-altitude winds, the effects of climate change on the jet stream, and wind power density in different parts of the world have been investigated separately. In this paper, while summarizing all topics related to this issue, the effects of climate change on these winds have been investigated by stating the layers of the atmosphere, the movement of air around the earth, and how the jet stream is formed. The results show that the presence of temperature changes caused by solar radiation and the creation of three temperature cells, Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar, simultaneously with the effect of the Coriolis force on moving air masses, causes the creation of a jet stream in the northern and southern hemispheres at latitudes of 30 degrees and 60 degrees. Climate change has increased the amplitude of the jet stream and its expansion to the north and south. Surveys show that Iran ranks 10th in the Middle East in terms of the energy density of high-altitude winds at a height of 500 meters above the ground. At an altitude of 1000 meters, in 50% of the time period, the west and center of Iran have a wind power density of 0.3 kW/m2, and at an altitude of 10000 meters and in the same time period, all areas of Iran have a wind power density of 3 kW/m2.
