Kite Power is a cost-effective renewable energy solution with a low environmental footprint at the Technical University Delft, Netherlands. An upscaled surf kite autonomously flies figure-eight maneuvers at high speed (70 to 90 km/h). This creates a high traction force (3.1 kN at 7 m/s wind speed), which is converted into electricity by the drum and the connected 20 kW generator.
