About this document

Multi-Mass Tether Model for Wind Energy by Amar Fayyad is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. The document presents a multi-body dynamics model of a variable-length tether used in a high altitude wind energy system. 2. The tether is modeled as a series of straight, massless segments with rope mass concentrated at segment joints. For the segment being wound out, a special modeling approach is derived. 3. The proposed tether dynamics model is integrated into an overall model of the controlled power production system and is verified through computer simulation. It is compared to simpler tether dy
