This thesis aims to investigate the power generation ofAirborne Wind Energy Systems (AWESs)throughagenericquasi-analyticalmodel. Themodelconsiderscentrifugal,elevationandgravityeffectsleavingtheequationsasa function of a generic flight path. . Airborne wind energy (AWE) has received increasing attention during the last decade, with the goal of achieving electricity generation solutions that may be used as a complement or even an alternative to conventional wind turbines. Despite that several concepts have already been proposed and. . The influences of crosswind intensity on the system performance are analysed. Its power generation capacity first decreases and then keeps at low level.
