Abstract
A fault-tolerant control approach is proposed, for a pumping airborne wind energy system (AWES) comprising a tethered fixed-wing aircraft with integrated propellers for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). First, the flight control design for the traction phase of the system, when the tethered aircraft has to fly in loops using the rudder, is presented. Then, the presence of the propellers, that are normally not used in the traction phase, is exploited to obtain a fault tolerant controller in case of rudder malfunctioning. The approach detects a possible discrete control surface fault and compensates for the loss in actuation by using the VTOL system. A sophisticated model of the system is used to analyse the performance of the proposed technique. The main finding is that the approach is able to handle abrupt rudder faults with high tolerance.
