This code was used for the analysis and development of Kite tether force control. It supports the work for our publication at Torque 2024: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/2767/7/072019. The kite tether force control allows the control architecture of a ground-generation airborne wind energy system to set a power limit that the controller will respect during flight operation. This controller was developed for the MegAWES reference model.
This code was build on top of the MegAWES framework: https://github.com/awegroup/MegAWES.
