Technology has the power to transform how the world’s growing energy demands are met. Kitepower takes wind energy to the next level by replacing rigid constructions with smart controls and lightweight wings to produce cost-efficient and clean electricity. We develop mobile airborne wind energy systems that make green electricity affordable for everyone. Kitepower is a commercial spin-off from the kite power research group of TU Delft and a first time industry applicant, currently funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Fast Track to Innovation Program REACH. When hearing about wind energy most people currently think of conventional wind turbines consisting of a tower with a heavy generator on top to which two or three blades are attached. While this design has grown in acceptance as much as it has is size, it comes with certain downsides. With increasing height, the costs for the tower rise exponentially and a sophisticated infrastructure for transporting the heavy components and assembling the power plant is required. Furthermore, the outermost part of the huge and heavy blades create the most energy. Airborne wind energy make use of this fact and significantly simplifies the design of wind based power generators. The concept of airborne wind energy replaces the tower by a lightweight tether which connects an airborne kite to the ground. Different shapes and materials are possible for the kite, from fixed wings like a glider airplane to completely soft wings as used by surfers. The kite itself is the equivalent to the blade tips in a conventional turbine. It flies in circles or figures of eight to increase the effective wind speed. Power generation with an airborne wind energy system is either realized by small turbines mounted on the wing or by a generator on the ground in a so called pumping concept. By removing the heaviest component parts from the system, this type of power plant is much more mobile in terms of location, and considerably cheaper in construction.

🎓⚡ Internship recap: empowering future innovators through the Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) DEM-AWE project. 👏 We’re excited to share the successful completion of Owen Noblet's five-month internship at Laminak Energy within the project, during which he played a key role in advancing the K-BESS solution. Owen is studying engineering at Centrale Nantes 🇫🇷 and chose to major in renewable energies and grid integration. ✏️ Owen actively engaged in project management, helped to develop the GIS-based site identification models for 🇮🇪 and 🇫🇷 models with BlueWise Marine, assisted with the kick-off of the K-BESS market study with Kitepower, and supported Airborne Wind Europe regarding communication efforts - all vital aspects of bringing innovative, renewable energy solutions to the forefront. This internship was part of our broader commitment to raising awareness about #AWE technology and training the next generation of professionals in the renewable energy sector. By involving young talents like Owen, we’re driving the project forward and contributing to the development of a skilled workforce ready to tackle the challenges of the energy transition. 🙏 Thank you, Owen, for your dedication and excellent work! We are eager to see where your journey in the renewable energy sector takes you next! 💡 #RenewableEnergy #AirborneWindEnergy #DEMAWE #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

Afgelopen week heeft projectteam Kitepower de tussenpresentatie gegeven met Frederique Beckeringh van Loenen, Philippine Oostwegel, Jonah Polman, Maartje Vennegoor en Maurits de Loë. In deze presentatie hebben we Kitepower een uitgebreid overzicht gegeven van verschillende landen waar het bedrijf mogelijk kan uitbreiden, met een analyse van de voordelen en nadelen per land. Kitepower is een innovatieve start-up in Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) en biedt kosteneffectieve alternatieven voor traditionele windturbines. Hun technologie gebruikt tot 90% minder materiaal en kan tot twee keer zo efficiënt zijn, zonder zware infrastructuur. Dit maakt de systemen mobiel, makkelijk inzetbaar en geschikt voor afgelegen locaties. We zijn allemaal erg blij met het tussentijdse resultaat en kijken met enthousiasme uit naar de volgende fase van dit project!
