Automated relaunching could handle the unattended part. As for applications perhaps it could work as a compliment to solar panels for deployable night time power generation? Given general trends of economies of scale, huge tower wind turbines perform better on a permanent basis but kites would be far more dispatchable and transportable in a casual way. Might be roughly similar in niche to a gasoline or diesel generator aside from the obvious limitations exchange (not burning fuel for power vs being usable indoors or underground with proper ventilation, smaller footprint).
