This document discusses energy kites, which are tethered kites that can generate electricity from high-altitude winds. It was originally developed in Italy as a way to harness renewable wind power. Energy kites have several components including a power ring, dyneema tethers, and actuators that control the kites and convert their motion into rotational energy to power generators. The kites are automatically controlled by a kite steering unit to provide a stable source of wind power with less space needed compared to traditional wind turbines.

3.  Developed in Italy that takes power from high altitude
winds
 This was originally conceived by Italian researcher
Massimo Ippoliteo
 Kite-Gen Organization was developed in Italy for
adopting green energy concept
 The simple idea of kite waving in the air lead to this
technology
 Kite-Gen initiated its first project is called “ LADDER
MILL “ that could generated 50kw of power

4.  The first design of KITE-GEN is a small scale
prototype
 The electric actuators which hold the kite lines are
fixed with respect to the ground
 Types ,
* Leading edge inflatable kite
* Supported leading edge kite
* Foil kite
* Glider
* Swept rigid wing
* Semi rigid wing

5. Drone Type Double Gen Type
Air Bourne Type Single Gen Type

6.  Provides 80% of electricity
 Environmental conservation
 Renewable energy source
 Abundantly available
 Less area required

7. A – Power Ring
B – Dyneema
C – Compass
D – Stem
E – Powered Joints
F – Ground Structure
G – Rotating Engine
H – Power Drum
I – Control Pulleys
J - Actuators

8. The core is the system of automatic control of
the kite flight, called KSU (Kite Steering Unit)

10.  The KSU is the unit that allows to automatically piloting a
power kite
 The kite steering unit, which includes the electric drives,
the drums, and all of the hardware needed to control a
single kite
 The Kite Gen project has designed and simulated a small-
scale prototype, The two kites lines are rolled around two
drums and linked to two electric drives, which are fixed
to the ground
 Energy is collected when the wind force on the kite
unrolls the lines, and the electric drives act as generators
due to the rotation of the drums

16.  It’s easy to bring to wind places from windy places in the
vehicle

17.  Less area required
 Easy to Install
 Cost is Less
 High power with Low input
 Eco-Friendly
 Renewable Energy Source
 Easy to bring in wind places

18.  Requires Continuous Monitoring

19.  Wind power from kite is a potential renewable energy
technology
 High – altitude wind power using tethered wind
turbine device has the potential to open up a new wind
resource in areas that are not served by conventional
turbines
