Energy Storage

Energy may be stored in many ways for various reasons and various lengths of time from short to long duration.  EnergyKiteSystems aims to stay aware of energy storage options, but see the need to collaborate with experts in energy storage when AWES are ready for inputting energy to energy storage systems or using stored energy in AWES operations. Further, there is a realm where kite itself  has energy storage within itself both in transient energy storage and in longer-term energy storage; such pointed kite energy-storage topics are of special concern to us.

• energy storage system (e.g., raise water, compress air, split water to hydrogen and oxygen, charge batteries, charge ultracapacitors, lift mass, make and store heat,  flywheel, ... )  Energy kite systems may use the generated energy immediately or store the energy, or place the energy into a community grid.

  • Lifted mass for later drop.   Kite systems may lift mass and then later drop the mass.  Soil or water may be lifted up a mountain and later dropped down an incline or pipe.
  • Flying a hang glider in a thermal puts potential energy into the pilot and wing; that energy may later be spent for gliding down the aerial inclines.
  • A person hiking up a hill is storing potential energy into his or her body; that energy may be used for rolling or gliding down the hill or aerial inclines. Falling uses potential energy of a raised mass.

  • DSUTWP   energy stored in energy sailplanes and energy gliders or energy hang gliders are discussed.
  • Rotational kinetic energy or  angular kinetic energy is a form of stored energy. When a kite system has rotating parts, then energy is stored in rotation. Flywheels, turbine blades, rotating disks,  and gyroscopic rings are examples. Gyrokites and flipwings have some stored energy.
