- Aeromechanical model: KiteModels.jl
Main issue - Aerodynamic model: VortexStepMethod.jl
Main issue - Winch model: WinchModels.jl
- Atmospheric model: AtmosphericModels.jl
- 3D viewer and GUI: KiteViewers.jl
- Plotting: ControlPlots.jl
- Settings, logging and coordinate system transformations: KiteUtils.jl
- For learning to create mechanical models with ModellingToolkit.jl, have a look at Tethers.jl
There is the old repository KiteControllers.jl, but this needs to be restructured. Suggestions:
- split off the winch controller and create a package
WinchControllers.jl - create a new repo
SimpleKiteControllers.jl
One of the first things to implement would be a path-following controller.
An alternative approach is being developed in the package KitePredictiveControl.jl .
The following project implements an estimator, which would be in particular useful to estimate the wind speed at the kites: https://github.com/ocayon/EKF-AWE/tree/main
It currently only supports LEI kites in pumping mode of operation. Furthermore, it is not yet integrated with KiteModels.jl.
