摘要: Techniques for controlling rotor speed of a wind turbine. One technique includes defining a system model describing resonance dynamics of a wind turbine component, such as a wind turbine tower, where the system model has a nonlinear input term, e.g. a periodic forcing term. A transform is applied to the system model to obtain a transformed model for response oscillation amplitude of the wind turbine component, where the transformed model has a linear input term. A wind turbine model describing dynamics of the wind turbine is then defined, and includes the transformed model. A model-based control algorithm, e.g. model predictive control, is applied using the wind turbine model to determine at least one control output, e.g. generator torque, and the control output is used to control rotor speed of the wind turbine.

摘要: 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.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a control system for a wind turbine comprising more controllers and where at least some of the controllers operate at different sample frequencies. The control system comprises at least two controller units, a first controller (10) for determining an operational value (OV) of a sub-system and a second controller (20) for the sub-system. The second controller operates at a higher sample frequency than the first controller. It is disclosed that a faster reaction to a received demand value (V1), received for controlling the sub-system, can be obtained by setting the operational value (OV) of the sub-system as the sum of an internal operational value (V5) and a difference value (V4).

摘要: The present invention relates to control of wind turbines based on predicted operational trajectories. A control system for a wind turbine is described where a main controller calculating one or more predicted operational trajectories and a safety controller validates at least one of the one or more predicted operational trajectories. The control system controls the wind turbine with the predicted control trajectory if the validation is valid, and controls the wind turbine with a safe-mode control trajectory if the validation is invalid. In an embodiment, the main controller is implemented as a receding horizon controller, e.g. in the form of a model predictive controller (MPC).

摘要: Techniques for controlling loading on a wind turbine blade in the flap-wise direction. A system model has a description of flap loading on the blade and is used to predict flap loading on the blade over a prediction horizon using the system model. A dynamic flap loading limit is determined based on predicted flap loading and a measured flap loading, and a constraint is defined to limit flap loading on the blade based on the dynamic flap loading limit. The predicted flap loading is used in a cost or performance function, and the cost function is optimized subject to the constraint to determine pitch for the blade to control flap loading on the blade. Advantageously, the dynamic limit varies based on discrepancies between predicted and measured flap loading to allow for adaptive back-off from extreme loads prior to such loads building up or being exceeded.

摘要: A method of controlling pitch of individual blades in a wind turbine is described, together with a suitable controller. Wind speed is determined as a function of azimuthal angle. Wind speed is then predicted for individual blades over a prediction horizon using this determination of wind speed as a function of azimuthal angle. The predicted wind speed for each individual blade is used in a performance function, which is optimized to control individual blade pitches.

摘要: A main computing system maintains and optimizes a predictive control model for an energy system, wherein the main computing system receives state information for the energy system, optimizes the predictive control model, and generates control rules for control of the energy system. The one or more local computing systems, each have a local memory for storing control rules for controlling the associated local state. The main computing system receives local state information and updates control rules, wherein the updated control rules comprise a subset of the control rules generated by the main computing system selected to be appropriate to the local state information received at the main computing system.
