Lidar Assisted Control of Wind Turbines
نویسنده
چکیده
LIDAR systems are able to provide preview information of wind speed, direction and shears at various distances in front of the wind turbines. This technology paves the way for new control concepts such as feedforward control and model predictive control to increase the energy production and to reduce loads of wind turbines. This paper describes how the necessary information can be obtained from wind speed measurement provided by a nacelle or spinner based LIDAR system and how this information can be used to improve collective and cyclic pitch control as well as speed and yaw control of wind turbines.

An Adaptive Data Processing Technique for Lidar-Assisted Control to Bridge the Gap between Lidar Systems and Wind Turbines
This paper presents first steps toward an adaptive lidar data processing technique crucial for lidarassisted control in wind turbines. The prediction time and the quality of the wind preview from lidar measurements depend on several factors and are not constant. If the data processing is not continually adjusted, the benefit of lidar-assisted control cannot be fully exploited or can even result...
متن کاملModel of the Correlation between Lidar Systems and Wind Turbines for Lidar Assisted Control
Investigations for lidar assisted control to optimize the energy yield and to reduce loads of wind turbines increased significantly in recent years. For this kind of control it is crucial to know the correlation between the rotor effective wind speed and the wind preview provided by a nacelle or spinner based lidar system. If on the one side the assumed correlation is overestimated, the uncorre...

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 allow...

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...
