Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling a wind turbine. The method predicts behaviour of the wind turbine components for the time stages over a prediction horizon using a wind turbine model describing dynamics of the wind turbine, where the time stages include a first set of time stages from an initial time stage and a second set of time stages subsequent to the first set. The method determines control outputs, e.g. individual blade pitch, for time stages based on the predicted behaviour. The method then transmits a control signal to implement only the control outputs for each of the second set of time stages so as to control the wind turbine. Advantageously, the invention reduces both average and peak computational loads relative to standard predictive control algorithms.

Abstract: A method of controlling a wind turbine comprising at least one rotor blade, and at least one accelerometer housed within a nacelle or a tower of the wind turbine. The method comprises: determining a whirling mode frequency for the wind turbine; measuring an acceleration signal that is indicative of the movement of the nacelle of the wind turbine; determining a frequency spectrum of the measured acceleration signal in the proximity of the determined whirling mode frequency; determining a characteristic value that is representative of the energy content of the measured acceleration signal having the determined frequency spectrum; and performing at least one control action if the characteristic value exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to control of wind turbines in a situation where a fault condition is detected. Control of a wind turbine is described where a control trajectory and a safe-mode trajectory are calculated based on the current operational state of the wind turbine. If the fault condition is detected the wind turbine is controlled using the safe-mode trajectory, otherwise, the normal operation of the wind turbine is continued where the wind turbine is controlled using the control trajectory.

Abstract: The invention relates to control of a wind turbine to address varying drivetrain loading. This is obtained by determining a modification signal to be set as a control signal. A signal indicative of a speed of the electrical generator a signal indicative of a requested output power are received. The signal indicative of a speed is filtering to isolate frequencies in a selected disturbance frequency band to generate a disturbance signal. The disturbance signal is phase shifted and combined with a requested output power to obtain the modification signal.

Abstract: Controlling a wind turbine including measuring a wind speed for a location upwind of a wind turbine. Using the measured wind speed, a changed steady-state deflection of a structure of the wind turbine is predicted. The predicted changed steady-state deflection corresponds to a time when wind from the location is incident on the wind turbine. Oscillations of the structure are damped relative to the changed steady-state deflection. By damping the oscillations relative to the changed steady-state deflection, movements of the structure may be minimized when there is no predicted change in steady-state deflection, while permitting more rapid movements during transitions from one steady-state deflection to the predicted steady-state deflection, allowing more of the available power to be captured by the wind turbine.

Abstract: A wind turbine control unit includes an upsampling module that receives a first control signal that includes a current control sample value and a predicted control trajectory. The upsampling module also calculates a second control signal in dependence on the current control sample value and the predicted control trajectory. The second control signal has a higher frequency than the first control signal. The upsampling module further outputs the second control signal for controlling an actuator.

Abstract: The invention relates to control of a wind turbine comprising a plurality of multi-axial accelerometers mounted at different positions in the nacelle and/or in a top portion of the tower. The position and orientation of each accelerometer as mounted is obtained, accelerations in at least two different directions by each accelerometer are measured during operation of the wind turbine. From a number of predetermined mode shapes for the movement of the wind turbine is then determined an absolute position of at least one of the accelerometers during operation of the wind turbine based on the measured accelerations, the mount position and orientation of each accelerometer and the pre-determined mode shapes. Hereby a more precise absolute position during operation is obtained which can be used in the controlling of the turbine.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control of a wind turbine in connection with power boosting or fast increase of active power production. A boost command is received (63) and based on the current operational state and the boost level a predicted control trajectory is calculated using a model predictive control (MPC) routine (64). The wind turbine is controlled using the calculated control trajectory during the power boost (65).
