The Design of closed loop controllers for wind turbines

摘要: This article reviews the design of algorithms for wind turbine pitch control and also generator torque in case variable speed turbines. Some recent possible future developments are discussed. Although is used primarily to limit power high winds, it has a significant effect on various loads. Particularly as turbines become larger, there increasing interest designing controllers mitigate loads far possible. Torque maximize energy capture below rated above rated. Once again opportunities these so certain In addition improving algorithms, use additional sensors help controller achieve its objectives more effectively. The actuators form individual each blade It important be able quantify benefits any new controller. computer simulations useful, field trials vital. variability real means that particular care needed trials.
