N2 - <p>MegAWES is a Matlab/Simulink model of an airborne wind enrgy (AWE) system based on a tethered rigid wing that is operated in pumping cycles producing multiple megawatt of electricity. The framework is a further development of the graduation project of Dylan Eijkelhof which was jointly supervised by TU Delft, ETH Zurich and DTU. The ultimate purpose is to provide a reference model of a megawatt-range AWE system and a computational framework to simulate its operation. The simulink framework includes the following model components:</p><ul><li>Pre-calculated look-up tables for aircraft's aerodynamic behaviour.</li><li>Segmented tether with a single attachment point at the kite's centre of gravity.</li><li>Choice between 3DoF point-mass and 6DoF rigid-body dynamic solver.</li><li>Aircraft controller for power generation flight controls and path tracking.</li><li>Set-force controlled dynamic winch.</li></ul>
