An existing attitude tracking control method developed for a FlyGen airborne wind energy (AWE) system is extended to control a GroundGen AWE system. The GroundGen system produces energy through kite-generated aerodynamic forces that tension a flexible tether attached between the kite center of gravity and a ground generator system. The kite is modelled using a six degree of freedom aircraft dynamics...
Control of kite trajectories for a tethered undersea kite (TUSK) energy system is studied. A TUSK system consists of a rigid undersea wing (or kite) attached by a tether to a buoy on the ocean surface. A turbine is mounted on the undersea kite to harness hydrokinetic energy from an ocean current when the kite moves in high-speed, cross-current motions. We adopt a six degree of freedom aircraft model...
We consider the modeling aspects of an airborne wind energy (AWE) system which consists of a kite (or glider aircraft) with a tether connected between the kite center of mass and a generator (load) on the ground. Kites in AWE systems move in high-speed crosswind motion at several times the wind velocity to efficiently harness wind energy. Central to the controller design for maximum power generation...
