A new approach to control tethered wings for airborne wind energy is described. A fixed length of the lines is considered, and the aim of the control system is to obtain figure-eight crosswind trajectories. The proposed technique is based on the notion of the wing's “velocity angle” and, in contrast with most existing approaches, it does not require a measurement of the wind speed or of the effective...
New results in the field of control of tethered wings for airborne wind energy systems with ground-level generators are presented. In the recent literature, a simple model for this kind of systems has been successfully used for control design. Such a model has been justified by measured data collected in experimental tests. Here, a similar model is derived, providing a theoretical analysis that gives...
