Airborne wind energy systems (AWES) are devices that effectively extract energy from the air flow, more specifically kinetic energy, and convert it to electricity. Wind is the manifestation of the kinetic energy present in the atmosphere. Understanding wind, its properties and power, as well as other atmospheric properties that can affect AWES, is the goal of this chapter.

Abstract

Airborne wind energy systems (AWES) are devices that effectively extract energy from the air flow, more specifically kinetic energy, and convert it to electricity. Wind is the manifestation of the kinetic energy present in the atmosphere. Understanding wind, its properties and power, as well as other atmospheric properties that can affect AWES, is the goal of this chapter.
