RISConvergence Analysis and Experimental Validation of a Fused Numerical/Experimental Active System Optimization Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a convergence analysis and experimental validation of an iterative design optimization framework that fuses numerical simulations with experiments. At every iteration, a G-optimal design generates a set ...
Experimentally Infused Plant and Controller Optimization Using Iterative Design of Experiments—Theoretical Framework and Airborne Wind Energy Case Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research presents an iterative framework for optimizing the plant and controller for complex systems by fusing expensive but valuable experiments with cheap yet less accurate simulations. At each iteration, G-optimal ...
Lab-Scale Experimental Characterization and Dynamic Scaling Assessment for Closed-Loop Crosswind Flight of Airborne Wind Energy Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental validation and dynamic similarity analysis for a lab-scale version of an airborne wind energy (AWE) system executing closed-loop motion control. Execution of crosswind flight patterns, ...
An Analytic Solution to the Inverse Dynamics of an Energy Harvesting Tethered Kite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper solves the inverse dynamics of a tethered kite analytically. Specifically, the paper presents a procedure for determining the angle of attack, induced roll angle, and tether tension magnitude needed to achieve ...
