Code to analyse winch sizing for ground-generator airborne wind energy systems

Airborne wind energy is an emerging technology that aims to capture the stronger and more steady higher altitude winds using tethered kites. The size of the winch, defined by its inertia and radius, has an important effect on the dynamics of the overall system for ground-generation concepts. This repository contains code to analyse these dynamics using a linearized simplified model of a ground-generation airborne wind energy system.<br>The publication related to this code is currently in review and will be linked on this page once published.
