Power of kites earned in Scotland

Scotland is one of the leading countries in the development of renewable energy technologies and have advanced another step in this direction. She was the first in the world to launch the power plant, the generators of which are kites. Unique wind station will be established near the town of Stranraer, on the shelf South of Scotland.

The British company Kite Power Solutions is planning to install 500-kilowatt system, which by 2025 will generate "several hundred megawatts" of energy. The world's first operating hydroelectric power station of this kind. The project is funded by multinational oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell and the UK government.

To obtain electricity using kites is not difficult: two kites attached wind turbines, after which they rise to a height of 450 meters and begin to move along the path, repeating the number "eight". The electricity is generated at the moment when the two kites fly one above the other at high speed.





The generators themselves are on the ground, in specially designed trucks, which attach both the serpent. If you consider that one of the snakes with a width of 40 meters produces from 2 to 3 MW of electricity, wind station of 1000 kites, the energy generated can be compared with the project of a nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C in Somerset in the South West of England.

Kite Power Solutions has created a small grid on kites, in the County of Wessex in England. And in addition, currently major research project in Italy, dedicated to the use of kites to generate energy.

"Kiteboarding" the plant fit perfectly in the program of UK renewable energy: the country is already among the leaders in the production of "clean" energy, and by 2030 plans to obtain up to 90% of all electricity consumed from renewable sources. published
