Title: Advanced Control Design and Field Testing for Wind Turbines at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory: Preprint

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15007608

Utility-scale wind turbines require active control systems to operate at variable rotational speeds. As turbines become larger and more flexible, advanced control algorithms become necessary to meet multiple objectives such as speed regulation, blade load mitigation, and mode stabilization. At the same time, they must maximize energy capture. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed control design and testing capabilities to meet these growing challenges.
