Blade pitch angle control for a wind turbine generator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6979710

A blade pitch angle control for a wind turbine-generator establishing an optimum power or torque reference signal which, when operating conditions so warrant, is not limited by the nominal torque or power ratings of various turbine generator components. The reference signal is indicative of a maximum blade angle setting for safe operation of the wind turbine. An integral or lag compensation circuit for enhanced transient and steadystate operation may be employed.
