Start generating green electricity and saving on fuel with Kitepower

Kitepower systems are designed to be integrated into your power configuration to let you tap into the advantages of distributed wind energy generation and start saving on polluting and expensive diesel supply. We believe that coping with diesel is the most appropriate way to go towards an effective dismantlement of the fossil fuel industry.

Find your way
towards decarbonisation
with Kitepower

Kitepower allows reducing CO2 emissions by expanding the share of renewable energy powering your microgrid. Renewables-based microgrids can offer businesses an economically viable pathway toward decarbonisation. By providing cheaper, low-carbon electricity, in addition to grid independence and improved supply resilience, microgrids are becoming an increasingly important part of the decarbonization strategy worldwide.

Agriculture

Farmers are in a unique position to benefit from the growth in the wind industry. Kitepower would only occupy approximately 6 x 2.5 m of ground, enabling farmers to optimise their arable areas further. Embracing Kitepower allows farmers to generate their clean power, mitigating visual and acoustic pollution, and ultimately reducing their reliance on the grid whilst investing in electrification of their operations.

Construction

Construction projects typically rely on diesel generators to power the equipment associated with large-scale real estate developments and infrastructure projects. Adding Kitepower’s mobile airborne wind energy to the energy configuration of a construction site ultimately allows for significantly reduced costs by saving on fuel consumption.

Humanitarian

In times of humanitarian crises such as natural disasters, war (including refugee camps), medical emergencies, and other defence situations, the availability of energy becomes both limited and unpredictable. By supporting these areas with mobile and remote airborne wind energy, Kitepower can develop temporary microgrids where needed.

Island Communities

Islands often have limited access to reliable energy grids and are naturally a remote area. For these locations, Kitepower provides an alternative power solution suitable for island characteristics, making it capable of supplying electricity for up to 100 households.

Festivals & Events

With over 1,000 annual festivals in the Netherlands alone, the outdoor events industry is substantial. Traditionally, the energy demand for these events has been supplied by diesel-fuelled generators. Kitepower represents an easily integrable and cost-effective way to optimise diesel consumption at these sites without neglecting the logistics.

You name it

Are you running operations in remote areas around the world, perhaps in harsh environments and relying on diesel generators for your site to function properly? Then Kitepower could be exactly what you are looking for to start optimising your micro-grid and reduce your carbon emissions.

Value-Driven System Design of Utility-Scale Airborne Wind Energy

Publish Date: 02.2023

This paper presents a computational approach to designing airborne wind energy (AWE) systems considering fluctuating electricity prices. It combines analytical models, wind resource characterisation, and cost estimation. Real-life data is used to compare system performance using economic metrics. The proposed metric, LPoE, balances cost and value in system design.

Integrate Kitepower
into your microgrid and unlock
the potential of airborne wind energy

When integrating Kitepower in combination with batteries, diesel generators can be switched off completely. Hybridizing with Kitepower results in less diesel consumption for more clean energy, culminating in considerable financial savings even for areas that do not experience consistent high wind speeds.

Pioneering battery-backed wind energy for a smooth transition to renewables

Kitepower’s Hawk system can be applied in a variety of circumstances. The system can be a replacement for alternative fuel generators at construction sites or in the field of agriculture.

The Hawk can also be applied for remote, off-grid areas with a temporary power demand. The mobile and temporary character of the system benefits a quick, temporary deployment at a variety of locations.

Reshaping wind energy solutions for remote applications worldwide

When integrating Kitepower in combination with batteries, diesel generators can be switched off completely. Hybridizing with Kitepower results in less diesel consumption for more clean energy, culminating in considerable financial savings even for areas that do not experience consistent high wind speeds.

Islands as the lighthouse for a renewable energy future

Islands offer fundamental challenges for any energy supply, as the cost of running a power line or even supplying fuel to local generators are often several times what the same would cost on the mainland. For this reason, energy tends to be supplied by generators running on diesel imported at very high costs. Kitepower offers an excellent solution to reducing the fuel consumption, cost and environmental footprint of these generators.
