Individual pitch control of wind turbines using local inflow measurements
This paper describes a model based control approach for individually adjusting the pitch of wind turbine blades and thereby attenuating the effect of asymmetric wind loads. It is assumed that measurements of local inflow along each blade are available. This effectively provides an estimate of the load distribution along the blades. The load estimates are used in a predictive setup where inflow ...
متن کاملPitch Control for Eliminating Tower Vibration Events on Active Stall Wind Turbines
Negative aerodynamic damping causes tower vibrations on turbines with stall rotors. Under certain conditions, these vibrations may rise to a level that causes a shutdown. Active stall turbines have a pitch system, and the objective of the work was to develop pitch control algorithms which would minimise the probability of tower vibrations rising to the shutdown level. The results of a root caus...
متن کاملDamping of Wind Turbine Tower Oscillations through Rotor Speed Control
To enable wind turbines to produce power under great variety of wind conditions a sophisticated control system is needed. Wind turbine system is highly nonlinear and its dynamic changes rapidly with the change of wind speed. Besides this, wind turbine mechanical structure is very flexible due to its great height and tends to oscillate. All this makes the design of wind turbine control system ve...
متن کاملLQG control of horizontal wind turbines for blades and tower loads alleviation
The paper deals with the LQG controller design optimizing the amount of power produced by two bladed horizontal variable speed wind turbines. The proposed controller ensures not only an optimal operation of turbines but also enables a compromise with the minimization of the blade oscillations and with the tower bending tendency.
متن کاملStudy of Degradation of Dry Cooling Tower Performance under Wind Conditions and Method for Tower Efficiency Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)
Wind affects adversely the cooling tower thermal performance. A field investigation was carried out to study the thermal performance of Heller cooling towers under wind conditions, involving measurement of wind velocity and its direction around the cooling tower, and obtaining water flow rates and temperatures at the cooling tower inlet and outlet. Results show that air suction at the tower top...
