A New Frontier in Renewable Energy Innovation
As renewable energy companies race to be at the forefront of the energy transition, the future is converging into a combination of photovoltaics, wind and storage. Innovation in the established wind sector has been slow with a tendency to upscale existing three-bladed turbines. Industry leaders continue to have problems with their technical development and deployment and are expected to not be able to meet future production demands required by the renewable energy development plans formulated by the European Union. Driven by the urge to accelerate the manufacturing and deployability of wind energy solutions, new players enter the field with creative and improved technologies. Kitekraft is leading the way with a radically different approach to harnessing the power of the wind: flying wind turbines.
