How does it work?

Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) produce electricity using kites or wings which are attached by a tether to a ground station.

There are two phases:

Power phase: The kite flies cross-wind in figures of eight, reeling-out the tether which turns the drum to which the generator – located in the ground station – is connected. Power is generated.

2. Retraction phase: The tether is reeled–in again and the kite dives down back to the starting position. This requires about 20% of the energy produced in the power phase.
