Could Energy-Generating Kites Replace Offshore Wind Turbines?

Kite Power Systems will start testing its machines in July or August at a site in Scotland. Offshore wind farms could someday be repowered with the technology, according to David Ainsworth, interim chief executive officer. "There''s 3 gigawatts of offshore wind coming to the end of life in the 2020s," Ainsworth said.

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

I. How Kite Power Systems Work 1. The Anatomy of a Kite Power System. At its core, a KPS comprises three essential components: A. The Kite. Design: The kite resembles a cross between a glider and a kiteboard. It features aerodynamic surfaces, tethers, and onboard electronics. Tether: The kite is tethered to a ground station via a strong cable

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.
