Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine includes operating, via a controller, the wind turbine according to a speed set point during normal operation of the wind turbine. The method also includes receiving, via the controller, a command to shut down the wind turbine or to curtail operation of the wind turbine. In response to receiving the command, the method includes initiating, via the controller, a shutdown procedure or a curtailment procedure of the wind turbine. During the shutdown procedure or the curtailment procedure of the wind turbine, the method includes dynamically adjusting a rate of change of the speed set point as a function of a speed tracking error, which corresponds to a difference between an actual rotor speed of the wind turbine and the speed set point.

Abstract: Methods are provided for controlling wind turbine loading. In one embodiment, a method includes the steps of determining a current thrust value for the wind turbine, calculating a thrust differential based on the current thrust value and a predetermined maximum thrust value, calculating a desired pitch offset value based on the thrust differential and a thrust sensitivity value, and adjusting a pitch of the wind turbine utilizing the pitch offset value.

Abstract: A magnetic bearing system includes a first electromagnet, a second electromagnet opposing the first electromagnet, and a rotor positioned between the first and second electromagnets. The first and second electromagnets are configured to apply a magnetic force. The system also includes a controller configured to determine a control action necessary to move the rotor to a predetermined rotor setpoint. The system further includes a nonlinear compensation device configured to calculate a first electrical current setpoint for the first electromagnet and a second electrical current setpoint for the second electromagnet to maintain a predetermined stiffness during at least one of startup, operation, and shutdown of the magnetic bearing system. The first and second electrical current setpoints are calculated based on the control action determined by the controller.
