Airborne Wind Energy Systems
Power generation from tethered airborne turbines or from airborne kites or drones tethered to a ground-based generator.
LUX TAKE:
AWES developers are slow to reach commercialization and to scale. With the levelized costs of traditional utility-scale renewables falling ever-lower, the value proposition for AWES is far from certain, and clients should only look for niche application cases –such as diesel fuel consumption reduction at remote sites– for the time being.
