KiteGen—Latest in Green Technology for Power Engineering

Author: Abhishek Karan

Abstract: KiteGen or Kite Power is a cost-effective renewable energy solution with a low environmental footprint. KiteGen is a concept developed in Italy for a wind harnessing machine that takes power from high altitude winds. The vertical axis orientation of the rotation is intended to eliminate the static and dynamic problems that prevent the increase in size of conventional wind turbines. In this paper we will discuss how KiteGen or Kite Power has emerged as a latest technology to produce renewable energy from the wind. In this paper we will also discuss the methodology, challenges and advantages of Kite Power.

Keywords: KiteGen, Kite Power, Renewable energy, Wind Power
