Abstract: Wind energy systems, such as an Airborne Wind Turbine (“AWT”), may be used to facilitate conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy. An AWT may include an aerial vehicle that flies in a path to convert kinetic wind energy to electrical energy. The aerial vehicle may be tethered to a ground station with a tether that terminates at a tether termination mount. In one aspect, the tether may be a conductive tether that can transmit electricity and/or electrical signals back and forth between the aerial vehicle and the ground station. The tether termination mount may include one or more gimbals that allow for the tether termination mount to rotate about one or more axis. In a further aspect, the tether termination mount may include a slip ring that allows for rotation of the tether without twisting the tether.

Abstract: A motor control topology relevant to airborne wind turbines and a control process for such a motor control topology is disclosed herein. A system may include an aerial vehicle that may include a plurality of propellers, a plurality of drive units coupled to the plurality of propellers, and a tether. Each drive unit may include a motor/generator and a motor controller. The plurality of drive units may include at least two pairs of drive units that include a first drive-unit pair and a second drive-unit pair. The drive units in each drive pair may be connected in parallel, and the at least two pairs of drive units may be connected in series. The drive units may be configured to operate in a first mode and operate in a second mode.
