摘要: A control arrangement of a wind turbine includes a watchdog including a reset module and a trigger module, wherein the watchdog reset module is configured to perform an internal reset when a sign-of-life signal is received from a remote communication system within a predetermined time limit, and wherein the watchdog trigger module is configured to issue a watchdog trigger when the predetermined time limit is exceeded; a sensor arrangement including a number of sensors configured to observe local parameters and to report local sensor data; and a wind turbine controller that initiates a local control sequence in response to the watchdog trigger, which local control sequence is configured to switch between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation on the basis of the local sensor data. A method of operating a wind turbine is further provided.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade, the method including the steps: a) positioning an outboard blade section at a predefined end position, the outboard blade section including an outboard end portion, b) positioning an inboard blade section adjacent to the outboard blade section, the inboard blade section including an inboard end portion, c) determining a deviation of a current position of the inboard end portion of the inboard blade section with respect to the outboard end portion the outboard blade section from a nominal position of the inboard end portion with respect to the outboard end portion, and d) moving the inboard blade section to the outboard blade section to compensate for the determined deviation. The complexity of the alignment procedure when aligning lengthwise blade sections are reduced and the accuracy of the alignment increased.

摘要: A method of controlling plural wind turbines is provided, wherein each wind turbine is operable in different operating modes, wherein operating parameters and/or operating features are set differently in the different operating modes. For at least a first of the plural wind turbines, at least some of the different operating modes have a different impact on a residual lifetime of at least a second of the plural wind turbines. In embodiments, the method includes providing at least one candidate operating scheme and estimating a residual lifetime and/or at least one optimization parameter. Estimating of the residual lifetime and/or the optimization parameter considers the impact of the operating mode of the first wind turbine specified in the candidate operating scheme on the residual lifetime of the second wind turbine. The plural wind turbines are then operated in accordance with an operating scheme selected from the candidate operating schemes.

摘要: A wind turbine rotor blade load emulator arrangement includes a support unit constructed to support a rotor blade during a fatigue test procedure; an exciter configured to deflect the rotor blade during a fatigue test procedure; and a stiffness augmentation assembly for mounting to the rotor blade over a mounting length, which stiffness augmentation assembly is realized to increase the stiffness of the rotor blade in the mounting length. A method of carrying out a fatigue test procedure on a wind turbine rotor blade uses such a load emulator arrangement.

摘要: A method for determining improved control parameters of a number of wind turbines of a wind park is provided. The method considers the impact of individual turbine manufacturing tolerances on the turbine performance, thereby avoiding under-utilization of those wind turbines. The method includes the steps of: receiving, by an interface, one or more actual manufacturing tolerances of characteristic values for each of the number of wind turbines; determining, by a processing unit, for each of the number of wind turbines a power versus wind speed map which is calculated from a given turbine model with the one or more actual manufacturing tolerances of the respective wind turbines as input parameters; and deriving, by the processing unit, the control parameters for each of the number of wind turbines from their associated power versus wind speed map.
