| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, wind power generation has been attracting attention in Europe and the United States as part of the utilization of renewable energy sources, and the efficiency of wind power generation has been increasing. We conducted research on wind power generation systems that utilize high-altitude wind power to increase the availability and capacity utilization. We have developed a system that effectively utilizes natural energy and lowers the construction cost of airborne wind power generation. The system consists of an autonomous kite or paraglider with a variety of measuring devices and a wind turbine generator. We proposed a tethered flying robot system, and designed and built a small prototype of it to be used outdoors. The possibilities and problems were clarified through experiments. We have also developed a flight control algorithm for a larger aircraft by using the kite flight simulator.
