    Abstract: The system includes at least one blade, a pitch command generator, a blade pitch system, a model store unit and a monitor unit. The pitch command generator is for generating at least one pitch command. The blade pitch system is for adjusting a pitch angle of the blade according to the pitch command and outputting an actual response representing an actual pitch condition of the blade in response to the pitch command. The model store unit is for receiving the pitch command and generating a desired response representing a desired pitch condition in response to the pitch command based on a nonlinear blade model. The monitor unit is for comparing a difference between the actual response and the desired response with a predetermined threshold and determining an operation status of the blade based at least in part on the difference. A method and a wind turbine are also provided.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for protecting a rotary machine in a high noise environment. In one embodiment, the method includes a step of measuring a vibration signal during operation of the rotary machine. Another step includes modulating the vibration signal at a desired frequency to generate a modulated signal having a direct current (DC) value. The desired frequency varies as a function of an operational parameter of the rotary machine. The method also includes a step of filtering the modulated signal via one or more low-pass filters. Another step includes comparing an amplitude of the filtered signal to a threshold amplitude for one or more components of the rotary machine. The threshold amplitude is indicative of an imbalance within one or more components of the rotary machine. The rotary machine is then operated based on the comparison so as to protect the rotary machine from damage caused by the imbalance within the one or more components of the rotary machine.

    Abstract: The present subject matter is directed to a system and method for improving speed control of a pitch drive system of a wind turbine. In one embodiment, the pitch drive system includes a direct current (DC) motor having an armature and a series-field winding, a battery assembly having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and a current-controlling device configured in series between the positive terminal of the battery assembly and the series-field winding. The battery assembly is configured to supply power to the pitch drive system and the current-controlling device is configured to supply current to the series-field winding so as to ensure a field flux does not equal zero. Thus, the current-controlling device has the effect of limiting the maximum speed of the DC motor.
