Real-time Optimization and Adaptation of the Crosswind Flight of Tethered Wings for Airborne Wind Energy
Aldo U. Zgraggen, Lorenzo Fagiano, Manfred Morari
Airborne wind energy systems aim to generate renewable energy by means of the aerodynamic lift produced by a wing tethered to the ground and controlled to fly crosswind paths. The…

Automatic crosswind flight of tethered wings for airborne wind energy: modeling, control design and experimental results
Lorenzo Fagiano, Aldo U. Zgraggen, Manfred Morari +1
An approach to control tethered wings for airborne wind energy is proposed. A fixed length of the lines is considered, and the aim of the control system is to obtain figure-eight c…
