Long-Endurance Multi-Function Floating Platform

Abstract:

Utilizing the wind power in high altitude to generate electrical power has significant meaningful while the pollution of environment of the planet is becoming worse and worse. Wireless aerial surveillance platform is very important to military surveillance, while present method costs too much. To meet the requirements mentioned above, a long-endurance multi-function floating platform is proposed in this paper. The long-endurance multi-function floating platform mainly consisted of four parts: the floating platform, the ground control base, the control box and the controller. Fuzzy-PID is used to control the movement of the rope, which connects the floating platform and the ground control base. A control strategy is made to reduce energy consumption of this system. A real system was built to demonstrate the feasibility of this paper.
