Kitepower

Kitepower


Kitepower is a leading start-up in Airborne Wind Energy (AWE), developing innovative and cost-effective alternatives to existing wind turbines as the systems do not require resource-intensive towers nor heavy foundations and are thus highly mobile and easy to deploy. Kitepower’s leading product, the Kitepower Falcon, is specially designed to allow remote communities worldwide to mitigate dependency on polluting and expensive diesel supply.
In this case, during the DEM-AWE project, Kitepower will span a minimum of 18 months with a Hawk K-BESS prototype sized for its capability to charge a 400kWh battery in 10 hours at the test site in Mayo, Ireland. This extensive trial will provide valuable operational data, experience, and feedback from stakeholders to produce a reliable new solution.
