Analysing Sites for Solar and Airborne Wind Energy Hybrid Power Plants: A feasibility analysis of the resource characterization and energy generation for identifying hybrid system locations

A method to help renewables flourish is mitigating the variability that is inherent in natural resources. To do so, we explore the intricacies of the relationship between airborne wind (AWE) and solar energy to uncover the possibilities of future energy-generating hybrid power plants (HPP). Which leads to steering away from fossil fuel reliance,...

Modelling and Sizing of a Hybrid Power Plant using Airborne Wind Energy

Currently, in remote off-grid locations, electricity is primarily generated using diesel generators, which is expensive and has significant carbon emissions. Alternatively, these remote locations have a huge potential for utilizing renewable energy sources. In such locations, airborne wind energy (AWE) systems could have an advantage over...
