Tracking control with adaption of kites
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel tracking paradigm for flying geometric trajectories using tethered kites is presented. It is shown how the differential-geometric notion of turning angle can be used as a one-dimensional representation of the kite trajectory, and how this leads to a single-input single-output (SISO) tracking problem. Based on this principle a Lyapunov-based nonlinear adaptive controller is developed that only needs control derivatives of the kite aerodynamic model. The resulting controller is validated using simulations with a point-mass kite model.

Trajectory tracking control of kites with system delay
A previously published algorithm for trajectory tracking control of tethered wings, i.e. kites, is updated in light of recent experimental evidence. The algorithm is, furthermore, analyzed in the framework of delay differential equations. It is shown how the presence of system delay influences the stability of the control system, and a methodology is derived for gain selection using the Lambert...
متن کاملPole-bound Hawk-kites Failed to Protect Maturing Cornfields from Blackbird Damage
This study examined the ability of pole-bound hawk-kites to protect maturing fields of corn from blackbird damage. Hawk-kites were placed over half of each experimental field. Damage on the hawk-kite side was slightly, but not significantly, less than on the unprotected side as measured by the percent of ears damaged by birds, total amount of grain lost to birds, or percent of crop damaged by b...
متن کاملDesert kites and prehistoric periods in Iranian plateau
The known area of distribution of kites is very large, from Arabia and the Near East, to Armenia in the Caucasus and the Aralo-Caspian region, namely south-western Kazakhstan and western Uzbekistan (e.g. Barge et al. 2013).although still there is not any official report about its existence in Iranian plateau but regards to the vast distribution of desert kites from Egypt in west to Kazakhstan i...
متن کاملTracking Control of Uncertain Non - Iinear MIMO System Using Modified Sliding Surfaces for Attitude Large Maneuver of Satellites on Orbit
Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...
متن کاملDevelopment and Testing of a Control System for the Automatic Flight of Tethered Parafoils
This paper presents the design and testing of a control system for the robotic flight of tethered kites. The use of tethered kites as a prime mover in airborne wind energy is undergoing active research in several quarters. There also exist several additional applications for the remote or autonomous control of tethered kites, such as aerial sensor and communications platforms. The system presen...
