Abstract:
A method of measuring transducer currents in a wind turbine generator control system is described. The method comprises selectively activating a set of one or more transducers in a group of transducers, taking a first measurement of the current through the group of transducers, selectively activating a different set of one or more transducers in the group of transducers, and taking a second measurement of the current through the group of transducers.
