Abstract
This paper uses a simple model to derive the governing equation for the kite motion using turn rate law. Parameter estimation technique was applied to derive the system’s parameters in real-time. The parameter estimation was used due to the uncertainty of the kite, this uncertainty comes from the change in wind speed and direction. A comparison between the governing equations and the results of the system identification was presented. Finally, a classical control was used for the stabilization of the kite. Simulation results for the model and system identification are presented to compare between the accuracy of the parameter estimation with the mathematical model.
