    Abstract: A method for estimating a temperature of a motor of a pitch drive mechanism of a rotor blade of a wind turbine includes monitoring, via at least one sensor, an actual temperature and at least one additional operating condition of the motor during a normal operating period of the wind turbine. The method also includes storing, via a pitch controller, the monitored temperatures and the monitored additional operating conditions of the motor for the normal operating period. Further, the method includes determining a relationship between the monitored temperatures and the monitored additional operating conditions of the motor for the normal operating period. Thus, in the event that the sensor fails to operate, the method includes determining, via the pitch controller, an estimated temperature of the motor based on the relationship.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a wind pitch adjustment system associated with a wind turbine system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the wind pitch adjustment system can include a power supply configured to convert an alternating current input signal into a direct current voltage, a controller configured to receive a signal from the power supply, and to provide one or more control commands to a pitch adjustment motor, and a surge stopping device comprising a switching element coupled between the power supply and the controller. The surge stopping device is configured to monitor an input voltage from a grid and to drive the switching element based at least in part on the monitored input voltage, such that the switching element is configured to block current flow through the switching element to the controller when the monitored input voltage is above a voltage threshold.

    Abstract: A device includes a controller configured to regulate one or more voltages applied to a gate of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). The controller is configured to receive one or more voltage values associated with the IGBT, and generate a gating signal and transmit the gating signal to the IGBT. The gating signal is configured to activate or deactivate the IGBT. The controller is configured to generate a voltage clamping signal and transmit the voltage clamping signal to activate or deactivate an active switching device. The active switching device is configured to periodically limit the one or more voltage values associated with the IGBT based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the voltage clamping signal.
