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…
