How to quickly invert the current percentage split between renewable and non-renewable energy sources is rapidly topping the agenda of global leaders, nations and companies.
Kite Gen vision is to implement and market an entirely new concept of power plant, suitable to almost any territory, for the production from renewable source of electrical energy cheaper than from fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, gas), directly competing with present day conventional GigaWatt installations.
The energy source, currently untapped and available anywhere, is the powerful altitude wind of the troposphere, channelled through arrays of large tethered power kites cruising at an altitude of 800 / 1 000 m, whose movements are electronically controlled by highly sophisticated sensors and proprietary software.
The power kites are anchored to a revolving structure on a vertical axis at ground level, which conveys the energy thus generated. |
