This is a post from today. However, the following quote seems to correspond to the title of the topic, whose previous comment is dated six years ago.
The system flies a 60 square meter kite at altitudes up to 425 meters, tethered to a rope that’s wrapped around a ground-based drum.
Likewise, the advantages of AWE over traditional turbines have been regularly mentioned for years.
Unlike conventional hashtag#wind hashtag#turbines, which are static and costly to install, kite-based systems are lightweight, mobile, and require less infrastructure. They can reach higher altitudes where winds are stronger and more consistent—offering a major boost in efficiency and accessibility, especially for remote or challenging terrains.
The implications for global energy generation—especially in areas with limited access to traditional renewable infrastructure—are profound.
