Enerkite has developed an airborne wind energy system to harness high altitude wind and convert it usable energy. EnerKites are novel wind energy plants aiming to produce energy up to 90% of the time, aggregating more than 4000 full-load hours per year. This is made possible by harnessing the persistently strong winds at heights of 100 - 500 m by using winged kites. EnerKite work in two phases, during the power phase the wing flies cross-wind, unfurling the lines with optimal force and speed. During the recovery phase the wing returns to the starting point as fast and smooth as possible with minimal energy expenditure. The ground station generates electrical power from the torque of the unfurling lines whilst steering the wing using differential drum drives. Currently in prototyping/pilot stage, company expects to begin production and scaling towards MW-class systems in 2017 and later.
