Abstract
In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to control parameters of an on-ground airborne wind energy system for the operational wind speed range, considering different winch configurations and the related saturation of its components, including electrical and hydraulic devices. Coupled with a static model, this leads to a tool that can easily calculate expected power curves for on-ground airborne wind energy system as a function of design parameters. The paper also presents the numerical examples of the power curve for a Magnus-based system and draws a comparison with the power curves of horizontal axis wind turbines.
