Market status report, August 2011 by GL Garrad Hassan (they face 22 companies which is about 1/5 th of the field; maybe another study or group will face the full set of Stakeholders actively doing AWE. The report favors offshore and seems to have a heavy SkySails aura; the reports seems to have missed KiteLab Group. Full reading is yet to occur to this commenting person: JpF

“We might extend the application of [wind] power
to the heights of the clouds,
by means of kites.” 
~utopian technologist
 John Etzler, 1833 
 "In few words when wind speed is 5 m/s, FlygenKite speed is 20 m/s, so the power on the rotor(s)
increases by factor of 64."
~ Pierre Benhaïem of France

Upper wind energy is a vast new resource to access.

*Upper winds: Smoother, more dependable, more consistent, faster,
more directionally stable, more vertical installation space by far, more distant from human operations, 
higher energy potential, beyond boundary layer wind gradient, fewer bats and birds,
less particulates, and  more placement opportunity! 

"AWE will one day
be dominant
over the current conventional
hard-towered ground-huggers."

"Those skilled in the attending arts see that a paraglider is a gliding kite."
