Correlation-model of Rotor-effective Wind Shears and Wind Speed for Lidar-based Individual Pitch Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work the spectra based model of the correlation between lidar systems and wind turbines is extended from rotor-effective wind speed only, to rotor-effective wind speed and linear horizontal and vertical shear components. This is achieved by the incorporation of a model based wind field reconstruction method solving a set of linear equations with the least-squares method. The model allows to optimize a lidar system’s measurement configuration for a specific wind turbine a-priori by means of direct and fast spectra calculations. Furthermore, it allows to assess the filter parameters to be expected and needed for the application of lidar-assisted control. By extending the model to rotor-effective linear shears, the results can be used for lidar-assisted individual pitch control.

Correlation between Rotating LIDAR Measurements and Blade Effective Wind Speed
Preview wind speed measurements from a forward looking Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system located in the hub of a wind turbine can be used by a feedforward blade pitch control system to mitigate structural loads. For individual blade pitch control, a separate preview estimate of the effective wind speed encountered by each blade must be available. One way of providing an estimate of the...

متن کامل9 Lidars and wind turbine control – Part 1
In recent years lidar technology found its way into wind energy. The main application is still the site assessment, but the possibility to optimize the energy production and reduce the loads by nacelle or spinner based lidar systems is becoming an important issue. In terms of control the inflowing wind field is the main disturbance to the wind turbine and most of the wind turbine control is des...
