The economic viability of future large-scale airborne wind energy systems critically hinges
on the achievable power output in a given wind environment and the system costs. This …

A key motivation for airborne wind energy is its potential to reduce the amount of material
required for the generation of renewable energy. On the other hand, the materials used for …

In light of the energy transition to a fossil-free energy system, Europe is experiencing a
colossal shift toward renewable energy generation. To facilitate the rapidly growing demand …

Airborne wind energy systems (AWESs) aim to operate at altitudes well above conventional
wind turbines (WTs) and harvest energy from stronger winds aloft. While multiple AWES …

So far, the size of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) has steadily increased, but recent
studies and market decisions suggest that this trend may come to an end. Airborne wind …

A scalable, robust, and cost-effective airborne wind energy system (AWES) should rely on a
completely autonomous operation, including a fully automatic launch and landing scheme …
