Modelling, Control and Post-Fault Operation of Dual Three-phase Drives for Airborne Wind Energy
Magdy Gamal Eldeeb,Hisham +1 more
- 01 Jan 2019
TL;DR: This thesis proposes the utilization of DT interior permanent magnet synchronous machines for efficient operation coupled with a zero steady-state error current regulator and deriving a post-fault optimization without exceeding the machine ratings.

A proposal and a theoretical analysis of a novel concept of a tilted-axis wind turbine
TL;DR: In this paper, a wind turbine with a downwind rotor, tilted upward, is proposed with an external cable that is attached to the blades' center of force supporting each rotor blade, and the tower is supported by guy wires at the top.

Crosswind Kite Power with Tower
Florian Bauer,Christoph M. Hackl,Keyue Smedley,Ralph Kennel +3 more
- 01 Jan 2018
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that tethering the kite to the top of a tower instead of to the ground can have advantages: Most notably, the cosine loss is reduced, i.e. the misalignment of the wind velocity vector and the direction of the traction power transfer.

A Wake Model for Crosswind Kite Systems
Mojtaba Kheiri,Frédéric Bourgault,Samson Victor,Vahid Saberi Nasrabad +3 more
- 01 Jan 2017
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that unless the ratio of the kite planform area Ak to the swept area As (i.e., the solidity factor σ = Ak/As) is very small (practically viableonly for small-scale systems), the induction factor for a crosswind kite may not be imperceptible.

Large experimental wind turbines: Where we are now
R. L. Thomas
- 01 Jan 1976
TL;DR: Several large wind turbine projects have been initiated by NASA-Lewis as part of the ERDA wind energy program as mentioned in this paper, which consist of progressively large wind turbines ranging from 100 kW with a rotor diameter of 125 feet to 1500 kW with rotor diameters of 200 to 300 feet.

DOE/NASA Mod-0A wind turbine performance
T. R. Richards,H. E. Neustadter +1 more

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and operation of a large wind turbine at Clayton, New Mexico is reported, which is the first identical 200 kW wind turbines to be operated on electric utility networks.
Performance of windmills in a closely spaced array
TL;DR: In this article, a model based on momentum theory is developed for windmill performance with slipstream interference, where only the two-rotor interference problem is considered, and performance improvement results from a more favorable distribution of the kinetic energy of the impinging air over each rotor of the array.
