    摘要: A method for compensating an imbalance of a wind rotor of a wind turbine includes applying at least one test-offset to a parameter characterizing a state of the wind rotor, wherein the imbalance depends on the parameter; measuring for the at least one test-offset an acceleration of the wind turbine, wherein the acceleration depends on the imbalance; and determining a compensation-offset based on the measured acceleration, wherein the imbalance is at least partially compensated, when the compensation-offset is applied to the parameter. Furthermore, a corresponding wind turbine includes a control unit configured to carry out the above method.

    摘要: Controlling a wind turbine by obtaining a movement signal indicative of a vibrational movement of a wind turbine tower is described. An actuator signal is determined based on the movement signal, the actuator signal being determined to produce a desired force to counteract the vibrational movement of the tower. A pitch reference offset signal for each one of a plurality of pitch-adjustable rotor blades is determined based on the actuator signal. An integration is then applied to the pitch reference offset signals to determine modified pitch reference offset signals based on the integrated pitch reference offset signals. A pitch signal for each of the blades is determined based on the modified pitch reference offset signals, the pitch signals being arranged to adjust the blades to provide the force that counteracts the vibrational movement of the tower.

    摘要: A method of controlling a wind turbine including a plurality of rotor blades, a first controller for controlling an adaptive flow regulating system having a plurality of individually controllable adaptive flow regulating devices arranged on the rotor blades, and a second controller for controlling a pitch regulating system for regulating a pitch angle of each rotor blade. The method includes (a) determining a diagnostic value indicative of an operational efficiency of the adaptive flow regulating system, (b) determining a first gain value for the first controller and a second gain value for the second controller based on the diagnostic value, (c) applying the first gain value to control signals for the adaptive flow regulating system generated by the first controller, and (d) applying the second gain value to control signals for the pitch regulating system generated by the second controller, is provided.
