Abstract

Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) have different power generation characteristics than conventional wind turbines, which can not be accurately captured in the traditional power curve. One important aspect is that it can harvest wind energy in a much wider range of altitudes than conventional wind turbines. Theoretically also High Altitude Winds (HAW) can be harnessed and the systems can be placed at a larger variety of sites.
