Renewable energy production from wind source by exploiting kites or airfoils through an automatic management and steering control.
The kite (12) or airfoil automatic steering via cables (11) allows to manoeuvre the kite in different combinations of troposphere altitudes and directions, obtaining full power traction phases in specific direction, phases of stall with rewinding, and gliding phases even against the wind. The traction and the active mechanical energy are transferred to a carousel generator (18,19).
The automatic steering logic is realized through the interface of servo actuators and sensors elements on the kites. Sensor information is continually updated to perform the decision-making and feedback control on the kite attitude and position in order to obtain precise and reliable manoeuvring.
