Meet Norway’s Kitemill, pioneering an Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) solution that harnesses superior wind resources at higher altitudes using fewer materials compared to traditional renewable energy technologies: [ Ссылка ]
The AWE system consists of three main parts: a kite, a tether, and a ground station. The kite stays aloft by gliding on air currents. The tether transforms the pull force from the kite to the ground-station generator, which then converts the tractive force from the tether to electricity.
Airborne Wind Energy is one of three finalists shortlisted for the European Sustainable Energy Awards 2024 in the Innovation category: [ Ссылка ].
The award recognises outstanding ongoing or recently completed EU-funded projects that show an original and innovative path towards the clean energy transition.
