Modeling, Control Design, and Combined Plant/Controller Optimization for an Energy-Harvesting Tethered Wing

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 26(4), 1157–1169.

By: P. Nikpoorparizi*, N. Deodhar* & C. Vermillion*

author keywords: Airborne wind energy (AWE); control system optimization; multidisciplinary design optimization; robustness analysis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that attaining maximum energy-generation performance requires operating on the verge of closed-loop instability and also results in a reduced set of parameters for which the system is stable, which shows a critical tradeoff between robustness and energy- generation performance.
