Airborne Wind EnergyAirborne Wind Energy (AWE) systems generate renewable energy from wind by exploiting tethered aircrafts, whose motion is stabilized by active control systems. This emerging field has experienced an ever-increasing development in the last decade. On a large scale, this type of system aims at providing an alternative to conventional wind on the market of electric power. In can be used in many areas where production of the maximum power is not a goal in itself and where autonomy is the main concern. One can cite traveling science missions, ships, events, etc. Furthermore, the system can afford to carry a load in altitude for measurement, lighting, filming or communication, in addition to its main objective which is energy production. |
