Estimation of Flight Parameters in Airborne Wind Energy Systems. Oliveira, P. J. N. Master's thesis, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal, October, 2023. ![Estimation of Flight Parameters in Airborne Wind Energy Systems [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper abstract bibtex Renewable energies are essential for preventing climate change and mitigating its most severe consequences. There are numerous clean and sustainable energy sources available to replace the demand for fossil fuels, with wind being one of the most prominent and significant renewable energy sources for large-scale production. An emerging technology in the field of renewable energies is airborne wind energy systems, which utilize kites connected to a ground station by a tether to harness energy from high-altitude winds. The lowconstruction and maintenance costs, along with the adaptability of this technology, distinguish it from conventional technologies, such as wind turbines. This thesis addresses the problem of estimating the aerodynamic coefficients of lift and drag as functions of the angle of attack, as well as evaluating the accuracy of these estimation methods using correlation and determination techniques. Additionally, the thesis covers the simulation process using ArduPilot in conjunction with JSBSim software, with flight planning made possible through QGroundControl, a ground control station simulation software. This thesis also covers principles of aerodynamics ,specifically lift and drag forces, which are essential for understanding these systems.
