Enhancing Control System Resilience for Airborne Wind Energy Systems Through Upset Condition Avoidance
Sebastian Rapp, Roland Schmehl
Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems are tethered flying devices that harvest wind resources at higher altitudes which are not accessible to conventional wind turbines. In order to b…
Quasi-Steady Model of a Pumping Kite Power System
Rolf van der Vlugt, Anna Bley, Michael Noom +1
The traction force of a kite can be used to drive a cyclic motion for extracting wind energy from the atmosphere. This paper presents a novel quasi-steady modelling framework for p…
Dynamic Model of a Pumping Kite Power System
Uwe Fechner, Rolf van der Vlugt, Edwin Schreuder +1
Converting the traction power of kites into electricity can be a low cost solution for wind energy. Reliable control of both trajectory and tether reeling is crucial. The present s…
