Dromec developed & build the winch and surrounding systems

Vader Piet, Aruba, 14 October 2021 – Kitepower’s mobile Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES), the Falcon 100kW engineered & build by DROMEC, is the very first AWES to be operated in the Caribbean.

The deployment of the innovative wind energy system has been part of “Caribbean Engineer 2021 (CAEN21)”, a military exercise carried out by the Dutch Defence near the area of Vader Piet on the island of Aruba.

The ongoing operation is the follow-up of a five year long collaboration between the Dutch Ministry of Defence and the Delft-based Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) start-up.
