Our technology

Imagine that you are standing on a beach, flying a kite across the wind. You feel the strong force from the kite strings. As you fly the kite sideways, you notice that it flies faster – way faster than the wind itself is blowing. Flying a kite across

Harnessing the Skies: The Future of Electricity

In the ongoing pursuit of sustainable energy, kite-based electricity generation is making waves. By reaching stronger, more consistent winds at higher altitudes, these energy kites promise greater efficiency,

The promise and challenges of airborne wind energy

A key part of the technology''s appeal is that kites can harvest wind energy that conventional turbines cannot. A typical 1.5 MW turbine stands 100 m tall, and its net capacity factor – the actual energy produced, divided by

Ocean Kite Energy

Utilizing advanced technology, it offers seamless control, regenerative energy, and upgradeable features, making it more efficient, reliable, and versatile than traditional kite control systems. Perfect for both hands-on sailors and

RWE Renewables and SkySails Power collaborate on

The two companies plan to fly a 120m² kite to a height of approximately 400m above ground to generate electricity. The kite pulls rope from the winch during its ascent in a controlled trajectory. Electricity will be

Altitude Wind Energy Generation

We develop innovative energy technologies, harnessing altitude winds driven by Italian ingenuity, creativity and passion. The key idea of Kitenergy is to harvest high-altitude wind energy with minimal effort in terms of generator structure,
