Airborne wind energy is an emerging technology that is capable of harvesting wind energy by flying crosswind flight patterns with a tethered aircraft. Several companies are trying to scale-up their concept in order to be competitive in the energy market. However, the scaling process requires numerous iterations and trade-offs among the different components in terms of requirements that have to satisfy...
For extreme maneuvers, feasible flight trajectories can be difficult to compute. If the aircraft is controlled based on linear approximations of the system dynamics that are computed along infeasible trajectories, poor control actions and violations of the flight envelope constraints can result. This paper proposes a Non-linear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) approach, to handle extreme maneuvers,...
