The Kitepower system consists of three major components: a soft kite, 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 software for remotely steering the kite. For energy production, the kite is operated. .
Kitepower is a registered of the Dutch company Enevate B.V. developing mobile airborne systems. Kitepower was founded in 2016 by Johannes Peschel and Roland Schmehl as a .
promises to be a cost-competitive solution to existing renewable energy technologies. The main advantages of the airborne wind energy technology are the reduced material usage compared to conventional wind turbines (no foundation, no tower). .
