The paper presents the development of monitoring system for a wind turbine prototype system. The proposed monitoring system is developed by the Labview computer programming. The system can connect to the wind turbine via the internet – as well as acquire monitored values and upload values into memories. Meanwhile, the system will show real-time values. Operating staffs can observe the wind turbine using the monitoring system and can take any actions on-time, if the wind turbine is not working properly. The results of the monitoring system indicate that the monitoring system is able to work properly and information can be used for investigation - the wind turbine and system analysis. The investigation process is very important for wind turbine operation in order to transmit energy to destinations.

This paper deals with the longitudinal flight control for a novel Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) system: the EAGLE System. It is a tethered lighter-than-air flyer wind turbine composed of a blimp, several aerodynamic airfoils (wings) with specific aerodynamic control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder), a counter-rotating aerodynamic rotor for the wind turbine (four identical sections, symmetrically arranged, with three blades each), an electrical synchronous generator attached to the counter-rotating rotors, and a tether to secure the airship and to transmit the generated power. Additional information can be found in US Patent, Provisional Application No. 61/387,432 developed by the authors. The designed system proposed here supports a 2.5 kW generator and flies at approximately 100 meters. The mathematical model developed for the AWE system incorporates a hybrid blimp-airfoil design, modeled using a hybrid Cartesian-polar coordinate system to capture the dynamics of both the airship and the tether, and includes the effect of the counter-rotating aerodynamic rotor of the wind turbine, as well as the aerodynamic control surfaces. This paper presents the design of a robust Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) controller for the 3×3 longitudinal flight dynamics of the tethered airborne wind energy system. The control system is designed by applying sequential MIMO robust Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) techniques.

Abstract The paper analyzes the operation of electric power subsystem consisting of the naval marine wind turbine, the synchronous generator and the electric accumulators at linear and exponential variations of wind speed. The management system is analyzed using various functions of wind speed variation. This subsystem requires to capture the wind energy with maximum efficiency, so a diesel engine and a synchronous generator subsystem can be used only as a complementary source of energy.
