![Four point kite power system model](kps4.png)

## Reference frames and control inputs
- a positive `set_torque` will accelerate the reel-out, a negative `set_torque` counteract the pulling force of the kite. The unit is [N/m] as seen at the motor/generator axis.
- the `depower` settings are dimensionless and can be between zero and one. A value equal to $\mathrm{depower\_zero}/100$ from the `settings.yaml` file means that the kite is fully powered.

A definition of the reference frames can be found [here](https://ufechner7.github.io/KiteUtils.jl/dev/reference_frames/) .

## Further reading
The one point and four point kite models are described in detail in [Dynamic Model of a Pumping Kite Power System](http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.6218).
