The utilization of wind energy resources in high-altitude regions globally remains relatively low.As onshore wind power reaches saturation in plains and other low-to medium-altitude areas,high-altitude wind energy is emer-ging as the future direction for onshore wind power generation.To promote the development of wind energy in high-al-titude regions,this paper first reviews the current utilization of clean energy globally,such as wind power,from the perspective of renewable energy.Then,it briefly describes the energy demand in global and high-altitude countries,indicating that there is still insufficient power in some high-altitude countries.Moreover,the utilization status of high-altitude wind power is expounded from the perspectives of wind resource potential and installed capacity of high-alti-tude countries around the world.Finally,the development status of high-altitude wind power in our country is briefly introduced,and the challenges facing the development of high-altitude wind power are discussed.
