The design in numbers
The Greenhyve consists of 19 systems with each 2 gliders. These gliders are attached to a ground based generator via a tether. At the generator, kinetic energy from the motion of the gliders is transferred into electrical energy, which is used to power TU Delft.

Message from GreenHyve
During a time period of 10 weeks, 11 aerospace engineering bachelor students worked on designing a sustainable energy system to provide TU Delft with its energy demands. The designed system is an airborne wind energy system (AWES) due to the advantages it has over other considered systems. We from Greenhyve are very satisfied with the outcome of the design that we produced and worked on over the time period. We are looking forward to a sustainable future to make our planet a better place.
