Watch: Kite power system performs first flight in North Sea

Makani conducted the first flights of its energy kite from a floating platform in the North Sea. The energy kites use a wing tethered to a ground station to efficiently harness energy from the wind, generating electricity at utility-scale.

The kite flies autonomously in loops, and rotors on the wing spin as the wind moves through them, thus generating electricity that is sent down the tether to the grid.

Offshore wind in California could become part of the least-cost portfolio, report says

A new report by Castle Wind, noted that offshore wind power is growing rapidly around the world, driven by dramatic cost reductions and increased interest in carbon-free energy sources. While most offshore wind projects to date have used fixed-base platforms, there is growing commercial experience with floating-base applications that will unlock wind resources in deeper waters, such as those off the coast of California.

California is a large potential market for offshore wind due to its...
