Within the prevailing single-kite paradigm, the current roadmap towards utility-scale airborne
wind energy (AWE) involves building ever larger aircraft. Consequently, utility-scale AWE …

Multiple-kite airborne wind energy systems (MAWES) aim to efficiently harvest the stronger,
less-intermittent winds at high altitude without material-intensive towers. Solving a series of …

Multiple-kite airborne wind energy (AWE) systems are typically characterized by unstable
and highly non-linear dynamics which often translates to intricate controller design and …

Abstract Multiple-kite Airborne Wind Energy Systems (MAWES) aim to decrease inter-
mittency and cost over conventional wind turbines, while generating more power than other …

Airborne wind energy systems convert wind energy into electricity using tethered flying
devices, typically flexible kites or aircraft. Replacing the tower and foundation of …

Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) concerns systems capable harvesting energy from the wind,
offering an efficient alternative to traditional wind turbines by flying crosswind with a tethered …

Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems replace the tower and foundation of contemporary
