🌍We are to share the results of a recent life cycle assessment of our Falcon airborne wind energy (AWE) system. 🌬️ As Europe targets 60 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030, AWE technology offers a sustainable alternative, utilizing higher altitude winds with lower material demands. 💡Our study, conducted by TU Delft, shows the Falcon system has a global warming potential of just 8.6 kg CO2 eq/MWh, significantly lower than traditional wind, nuclear, solar, and diesel generators. 📖Read more: https://lnkd.in/eWBp_eZ7 Roland Schmehl Johannes Peschel Airborne Wind Europe Kirsten C.

Over ons
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.

As we approach June and the end of the first DIANA bootcamp, our innovators are showcasing how their dual-use technologies could solve some of the world's most pressing problems. This past week, eight companies from our first cohort were in Turin, Italy to share their cutting-edge innovations with both defensive and commercial applications. Dharmesh Shah and Stephane MOINARD from our Commercial and Adoption teams were pleased to join attendees from industry, government, end-users, and investors for this energising event. Check out Kitepower below, and levelQuantum, just two of many innovative companies working to change the world. A big thanks to our friends at Plug and Play Tech Center and DualTech by Takeoff Accelerator for this fantastic event!
I realy enjoyed being at the local demo day in Turin for the NATO DIANA challenge energy resiliance. What a nice venue! Walter Hueber did a great job presenting our Kitepower HAWK product, a kite powered mobile battery energy storage system. Many thanks to the organisation by Plug and Play, Enrica Bonora, Dharmesh Shah and NATO DIANA!
