Feedback control design of a Kite Generator for specified direction

The increasing importance of the need for electricity and the need to have a healthy and pollution-free environment have prompted researchers to constantly track renewable sources of energy such as wind, solar, geothermal and so on instead of fossil fuels. But technology is not advanced enough yet to utilize them, and the costs associated with setting up and implementing them is not reasonable. In order to find and complement new methods to employ renewable energy, this paper investigates a new generator, i.e., Kite-Gen. The idea first explored in Torino, Italy, and is now being studied around the world. One of the most important factors to produce the maximum energy in a specific Kite-Gen, is to control its direction in a correct way. The purpose of this paper is to find a feedback control and to obtain proper eigenvalues for zero steady-state error.
