OverviewWorking principleSystemTechnology contextApplicationsAwardsSee alsoExternal links

The Kitepower system consists of three major components: a soft kite, a load-bearing tether and a ground-based electric generator. Another important component is the so-called kite control unit and together with the according control software for remotely steering the kite. For energy production, the kite is operated in consecutive "pumping cycles" with alternating reel-out and reel-in phases: during reel-out the kite is flown in crosswind maneuvers (transverse to t

Products

Kitepower systems start producing energy with lower wind speeds than the ones required by conventional wind turbines, moreover, Kitepower is capable to harness stronger and more persistent winds at higher altitudes.

Optimal control of kite power systems: mesh–refinement strategies

In Kite Power Systems with generator on the ground, electrical power is generated usin g a controlled kite (tethered wing) by unwinding a cable coiled around a drum connected to a generator. Ener

Crosswind kite power

Crosswind kite power is power derived from airborne wind-energy conversion systems (AWECS, also AWES) or crosswind kite power systems (CWKPS). The kite system is characterized by energy -harvesting parts flying transversely to the direction of the ambient wind, i.e., to crosswind mode; sometimes the entire wing set and tether set are flown in

About

Research in kite power generation was initiated by Wubbo Ockels in 1993, followed by a patent application for the Laddermill technology in 1997. Already in 2007, the first 20kW Kitepower system demonstrated the proof of concept. Currently, Kitepower is developing one of the first containerised on-shore AWES to enter the market.

On the aerodynamic performance of crosswind kite

Simplistically, a crosswind kite power system (CKPS) parallels a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT), where the trajectories traced by the kite in the sky are reminiscent of the turbine blade tip (see Fig. 1). For a HAWT, approximately
