This video explores 5 of the airborne wind energy innovation startups.
Airborne wind energy (AWE) is a method of generating electricity using automatic tethered flying devices, such as kites or wings, to harness wind energy at higher altitudes where the winds are stronger and more consistent.
There are three main concepts of AWE: ground-generation (where the generator is on the ground), on-board generation (where the generator is on the flying device), and the rotary concept (using a lifter kite to hold up a flexible structure of multiple aerofoils).
AWE has the potential to significantly contribute to the world's energy production, with projections suggesting that about 1 GW could be deployed by the early 2030s and several hundred GW by 2050.
While the technology is still in the early stages, it is being pursued by various companies and research institutions, and it is seen as a promising alternative to conventional wind turbines, especially for accessing stronger and more consistent winds at higher altitudes.
