摘要:
A method for determining a total mechanical load of a wind turbine is provided. A present load signal indicative of a present load of a wind turbine base structure is obtained, wherein the present load acts in a present angular direction. A first present load and a second present load are derived based upon the present load signal and the present angular direction, wherein the first present load is associated with a first angular sector of the turbine and the second present load is associated with a second angular sector of the turbine. Further, a total mechanical load is derived based upon the first present load and the second present load.
摘要:
A thermal energy storage and recovery system including a storage arrangement having a thermal energy storage device for temporarily storing thermal energy, a charging/discharging arrangement having a fluid energy machine for exchanging mechanical work with a working fluid cycling through the charging/discharging arrangement, and a heat exchanger which is arranged between the storage arrangement and the charging/discharging arrangement and which thermodynamically couples a heat transfer fluid cycling through the storage arrangement with the working fluid is provided. The storage arrangement is configured in such a manner that the heat transfer fluid is under a first pressure and the charging/discharging arrangement is configured in such a manner that the working fluid is at least partially under a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is higher than the first pressure.
