... a range of wind conditions. The data is then used to train machine learning models. A number of machine learning regression algorithms are explored including Neural Networks, Random Forests and Support Vector Machines and improvements of 82% are obtained compared to the commercial tools. The use...

... squares quadratic programming algorithm (SLSQP) is utilized at the heart of the VPP to perform the optimization. The algorithm is a gradient-based algorithm and therefore requires both the objective function and any constraint functions to be smooth and differentiable. Great care has been taken to ensure...

... the kite velocity orientation and a desired velocity orientation ensuring that the kite is steered towards and along the trajectory. Closed-loop simulations are presented to show the efficiency of the path-following algorithm, and the various theoretical performances obtained depending on the chosen...
