Energy production control of an experimental kite system in presence of wind gusts

Résumé

The growing need of energy, global warming and recent nuclear power plant accidents have shown that renewable energies need to be developed for tomorrow's world. Wind energy is generally harvested using wind turbines. Unfortunately, these systems have some drawbacks such as their cost, and the amount of steel and concrete used for construction. As their size grows, their complexity increases exponentially. This paper studies an alternative solution for the production of wind energy, using a kite's traction force. The aim of this paper is to control the amount of energy produced by the kite, and to be able to fly it safely in the presence of strong wind gusts. Our theoretical work has been implemented in a scale model flying autonomously in a wind tunnel. The proposed control strategy has led to control the system output power with an accuracy greater than 95%, with unknown wind speeds varying from 7.5 to 9 m/s.
