Validation

For the correct development of the simulation based on the real GS 1, a lot of measurements were done. Some of them were done in particular elements alone, but most of the measurements were done directly in the ground station.

About SwissKitePower

pix

The SwissKitePower project is a multidisciplinary research and development effort aimed at creating a totally new device which can harness wind energy at high altitudes. The winds at altitude are stronger and more consistent than those at the ground and represent an enormous potential source of renewable energy.
More about this approach can be found here.
