| 20110025061 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A WINDMILL KITE - A control system for a windmill kite having a platform tethered by at least one tethering line, and supporting a plurality of rotors that provide lift to keep the kite aloft and to generate electrical power. The control system comprises a computer and controller. The computer comprises a memory circuitry accessible by a microprocessor, the memory circuitry storing data representing at least one set of stored reference values. The controller arranged for regulating at least one functional parameter of the kite by controlling at least one operating characteristic of the rotors, with the computer cyclically retrieving a plurality of sensed environmental parametric values from sensors disposed on or near the kite, and processes a set of output values by comparing the sensed parametric values to the set of stored reference values, the output values are then forwarded to the controller for adjusting at least one operating characteristic of the rotors. | 02-03-2011 |
