Faculty Aerospace Engineering Department Wind Energy Date 2014-10-01 Abstract The fundamental working principle of kite power generation is straightforward: a fast-flying kite pulls a tether from a drum, which drives a generator. At the maximum reel-out length, the kite is de-powered and pulled back, to initiate a new pumping cycle. The objective of this innovative technology is to make electricity generation affordable, reliable and clean. The frequently asked question is “How much does it cost?” Subject Airborne Wind EnergyLCOE To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:f852545f-2946-4556-9ef8-0b5cdbdaf289 Publisher Society for Aerospace Engineering Students VSV Leonardo da Vinci ISSN 2352-703X Source Leonardo Times, 18(okt)2014 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type journal article Rights (c) 2014 Grete, C.
