| contents | This study investigates deep offshore, pumping Airborne Wind Energy systems, focusing on the kite-platform interaction. The considered system includes a 360 m2 soft-wing kite, connected by a tether to a winch installed on a 10-meter-deep spar with four mooring lines. Wind power is converted into electricity with a feedback controlled periodic trajectory of the kite and corresponding reeling motion of the tether. An analysis of the mutual influence between the platform and the kite dynamics, with different wave regimes, reveals a rather small sensitivity of the flight pattern to the platform oscillations; on the other hand, the frequency of tether force oscillations can be close to the platform resonance peaks, resulting in possible increased fatigue loads and damage of the floating and submerged components. A control design procedure is then proposed to avoid this problem, acting on the kite path planner. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the approach. |
