Kitepower
The Kitepower system consists of three major components: [10] [11] [12] a soft kite, [13] 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

Power Kites that make the energy transition truly happen
The concept behind the kite power cycle is called the "yo-yo principle". Energy generated by the Airborne Wind Energy System can be fed into the grid, stored in batteries, or directly consumed. The power kite can land for maintenance or before forecasted weather extremes.

How did Makani create energy kites?
Makani spent 13 years developing energy kites that generated electricity by flying in loops and sending power down a tether to the grid. Makani started in 2006 when a group of devoted kitesurfers had the novel idea that kites might be able to harness enough wind energy to power the world.
How many kilowatts does a Makani kite generate?
This kite was capable of generating up to 600 kilowatts of electricity, which is 30 times more energy than the previous prototype and enough to power about 300 homes. In 2019, Makani became an independent business and partnered with Shell to bring energy kites to offshore environments.
Who is Kitepower?
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement . Kitepower is a leading start-up in Airborne Wind Energy. We believe in the power of technology to transform how the world's energy demands are met.
What is a kite power cycle?
The concept behind the kite power cycle is called the “yo-yo principle”. Energy generated by the Airborne Wind Energy System can be fed into the grid, stored in batteries, or directly consumed. The power kite can land for maintenance or before forecasted weather extremes.
How does Kitepower work?
The electricity generation works in two phases, which repeated in continuous cycles result in positive net energy output. The energy generated by the system while reeling out is greater than the energy consumed to reel the kite back in. Kitepower represents an innovative and cost-effective alternative to existing wind turbines.
What is Makani kiteboarding?
Makani started in 2006 when a group of devoted kitesurfers had the novel idea that kites might be able to harness enough wind energy to power the world. The earliest kites were made of fabric and closely resembled kiteboarding gear. Testing these early prototypes proved that the kites needed more efficiency and control than fabric could afford.
