Combined Plant and Controller Optimization of an Underwater Energy Harvesting Kite System
Kartik Naik, Sumedh Beknalkar, James Reed +3
This paper presents the formulation and results for a control-aware optimization of the combined geometric and structural design of an energy-harvesting underwater kite. Because ki…
Receding Horizon Iterative Learning Control for Continuously Operated Systems
Maxwell Wu, Mitchell Cobb, James Reed +3
This paper presents an iterative learning control (ILC) scheme for continuously operated repetitive systems for which no initial condition reset exists. To accomplish this, we deve…
On Wind Speed Sensor Configurations and Altitude Control in Airborne Wind Energy Systems
Laurel N. Dunn, Christopher Vermillion, Fotini K. Chow +1
Real-time altitude control of airborne wind energy (AWE) systems can improve performance by allowing turbines to track favorable wind speeds across a range of operating altitudes.…
Waypoint Optimization Using Bayesian Optimization: A Case Study in Airborne Wind Energy Systems
Ali Baheri, Chris Vermillion
We present a data-driven optimization framework that aims to address online adaptation of the flight path shape for an airborne wind energy system (AWE) that follows a repetitive p…
Economically Efficient Combined Plant and Controller Design Using Batch Bayesian Optimization: Mathematical Framework and Airborne Wind Energy Case Study
Ali Baheri, Chris Vermillion
We present a novel data-driven nested optimization framework that addresses the problem of coupling between plant and controller optimization. This optimization strategy is tailore…
