Kitepower has introduced the Kitepower Hawk. The Hawk system integrates battery energy storage with an Airborne Wind Energy System (AWE) for on-site charging.
The Hawk kite generates 30kW of energy and stores it directly in a 400 kWh battery. The solution offers an alternative to diesel generators and can enable electrification for construction sites, in agriculture and horticulture, and for small island communities.
