Skysails Power System installed

Hi @rschmehl , indeed there are some informations on:

BASELOAD ONSHORE WIND POWER THAT’S AVAILABLE ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE

The SKS PN-14 harnesses the wind at an altitude of 200 to 400 meters and also achieves high yields at low-wind sites. The system is safely employable in hurricane and typhoon regions, as it is easily retrieved and stowed away before these natural disasters occur. Thanks to its simple transportation and installation requirements, the SKS PN-14 can also be installed in places that are difficult to access.

The SKS PN-14 achieves a high amount of full load hours (up to 6,000 full load hours/year). It is the first time a renewable energy alternative can compete with conventional solutions such as brown coal for supplying baseload power.

Are there test reports with wind speeds, duration of reel-out and reel-in phases, power generated during reel-out phase, energy consumption during reel-in phase?
