The diagram envisions the kite also being connected to a battery, diesel generator, and solar PV installation.
The real question is not if the kite installation or renewable installation is 100% reliable, it's a question of how much does it cut your total diesel consumption. US military loves renewables because it reduces the amount of fuel they have to move.
