Abstract
An aquatic wind power generation system includes: a hull that navigates on water; a power generation system that includes a kite connected to the hull via a tether, and repeats between a power generation mode, in which wind power is generated by an unwinding operation of the tether due to flight of the kite, and retraction mode, in which the tether is retracted by a winding operation of the tether; and a controller that performs control to direct a bow of the hull in a leeward direction in the retraction mode.
