PATH BASED POWER GENERATION CONTROL FOR AERIAL VEHICLE

Japanese Patent JP2017214064

A

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for managing power generation of an aerial vehicle operating in a crosswind-flight orientation.SOLUTION: Methods and systems described in the present specification relate to power generation control for an aerial vehicle. An example method may include operating the aerial vehicle in a crosswind-flight orientation substantially along a first flight path to generate power. The first flight path may include a substantially circular path that allows the aerial vehicle to generate electric power. The method may include, while the aerial vehicle is in the crosswind-flight orientation, determining to reduce the electric power being generated by the aerial vehicle, and responsive to the determination, determining a second flight path, the different second flight path being for reducing the electric power generated by the aerial vehicle when operating on the second flight path. Once determined, the aerial vehicle may operate substantially along the second flight path.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3B
