Airborne Wind Energy systems (AWEs) are a promising renewable wind power technology. Among these, tethered kites flying eight-shape trajectories, allow to generate auxiliary traction force for ship propulsion, enabling a reduction in fuel consumption.The path that the kite follows within the flight window directly determines the generated traction. Hence, maximising the average traction force, translates in finding the optimal flight trajectory. In this paper, the paths are parametrised through Bernoulli lemniscates and a genetic algorithm optimizer is used to find the optimal one under varying wind conditions, specifically when the angle between the wind and the boat’s direction changes.
