International audience; In this paper, the problem of grid integration of a kite generator system (KGS), is handled. The mechanical power generated by the kite's traction is translated into an electrical one via a permanent magnet synchronous machine. This power is then injected in the grid or used to supply an isolated load after passing a power electronics interface. Control schemes have been developed for grid connected or stand-alone operation and tested on a hardware-in-the-loop simulator.
