This document describes an energy kite system that can generate electricity from wind power. The energy kite was originally developed in Italy and uses large kites attached to generators on the ground by tethers. When wind blows, the kites generate lift and their movement turns the generators to produce electricity. Key advantages of energy kites over wind turbines are their lower cost, ability to access stronger winds higher in the sky, and reduced environmental impacts. The document outlines the components, working mechanism, and configuration of energy kite systems as well as their advantages and potential for future development as a renewable energy technology.

INTRODUCTION
• Developed in Italy that takes power from high altitude
winds.
• This was originally conceived by Italian researcher
Massimo Ippolitoe
•Kite-Gen organisation 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 called “LADDER
MILL” that could generate 50Kw of power.

KITE- GEN
• The first design of KITEGEN is a small scale
prototype.
• The electric actuators which hold the kite lines are
fixed with respect to the ground

NEED FOR ENERGY KITE
 Provides 80% of electricity
Environmental conservation
Renewable energy source
Abundantly Available
 Less Area required

KEY TECHNOLOGY
The core is the system of automatic control of
the kite flight, called KSU (Kite Steering Unit):

WORKING
• 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 KiteGen project has designed and simulated a small-scale
prototype ,The two kite 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.

• ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
• HEIGHT RANGE
MOST OF THE BIRDS GET
KILLED
LESS LIKELY TO KILL
LIMITED HEIGHT (100 ft) CAN FLY ABOVE 500 ft

15. ENERGY KITE 15
ADVANTAGES
• EASY TO INSTALL
• COST EFFECTIVE
• HIGH POWER WITH LOW INPUT
•ECO-FRIENDLY
• RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE

16. ENERGY KITE 16
DISADVANTAGES
• REQUIRES CONTINUOUS MONITRING
•DEPENDS ON WIND COMPLETELY

17. ENERGY KITE 17
CONCLUSION
• Wind Power from Kites is a potential
renewable energy technology
• High‐altitude wind power using tethered
wind turbine devices has the potential to
open up a new wind resource in areas that
are not served by conventional turbines.
