Damping of Wind Turbine Tower Oscillations through Rotor Speed Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 very demanding task. In this paper three controller design methods are compared. It is shown how with adequate controller design it becomes possible to control the wind turbine under various operating conditions reducing the structural oscillations at the same time.

Simulation models of a variable-speed, fixed-pitch wind turbine were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of constraining rotor speed and power output without the benefit of active aerodynamic control devices. A strategy was postulated to control rotational speed by specifying the demanded generator torque. By controlling rotor speed in relation to wind speed, the aerodynamic power extracte...

Current lidar technology is offering a promising opportunity to take a fresh look at wind turbine control. This work evaluates a flatness-based feedforward approach, that allows to calculate the control action based on trajectories of the rotor speed and tower motion using wind measurements. The trajectories are planned online considering actuator constrains to regulate the rotor speed and mini...
