LIDAR Wind Speed Measurement Analysis and Feed-Forward Blade Pitch Control for Load Mitigation in Wind Turbines: January 2010--January 2011

Technical Report Dunne, F.; Simley, E.; Pao, L.

This report examines the accuracy of measurements that rely on Doppler LIDAR systems to determine their applicability to wind turbine feed-forward control systems and discusses feed-forward control system designs that use preview wind measurements.

Insensitivity to propagation timing in a preview-enabled wind turbine control experiment

Journal Article Sinner, Michael; Petrović, Vlaho; Stockhouse, David; ... - Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering

Lidar scanners are capable of taking measurements of a wind field upstream of a wind turbine. The wind turbine controller can use these measurements as a “preview” of future disturbances impacting the turbine. Such preview-enabled (or feedforward) controllers show superior performance to standard wind turbine control configurations based purely on a feedback architecture. To capitalize on the performance improvements that preview wind measurements can provide, feedforward control actions should be timed to coincide with the arrival of the wind field at the wind turbine location. However, the time of propagation of the wind field between the lidar measurement location andmore »« less

Load Mitigation Control Design for a Wind Turbine Operating in the Path of Vortices

Conference Hand, M; Balas, M

Turbulence generated in the stable atmospheric boundary layer can contain vorticity that adversely affects wind turbine blade fatigue life. We investigated advanced control algorithms that mitigate the vortex/wind turbine interaction. State space control designs can meet multiple control objectives such as maintaining power regulation while mitigating blade flap bending moment amplitude. We implemented disturbance accommodating control (DAC) methods in a structural dynamics code to mitigate blade loads and maintain constant power production in above-rated wind speeds. As a best-case scenario, we implemented a disturbance model that incorporated very detailed vortex characteristics in full-state feedback. This reduced equivalent fatigue load asmore »« less

Wave forecast and its application to the optimal control of offshore floating wind turbine for load mitigation

Journal Article Ma, Yu; Sclavounos, Paul; Cross-Whiter, John; ... - Renewable Energy

Control algorithms play an important role in energy capture and load mitigation for offshore floating wind turbines (OFWTs). One of the advanced and effective control techniques is the feedforward or model predictive control approach, which requires the forecast of incoming environment conditions. For OFWTs, wave loading is one of the dominant sources to excite structural responses. This study is thus motivated to develop forecasting algorithms for wave elevations and wave excitation forces with the purpose of applying feedforward controllers on OFWTs. Two forecasting algorithms, the approximate Prony Method based on ESPRIT (Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques) andmore »« less

Field testing of feedforward collective pitch control on the CART2 using a nacelle-based Lidar scanner

Journal Article Schlipf, David; Fleming, Paul; Haizmann, Florian; ... - Journal of Physics. Conference Series

This work presents the results from a field test of LIDAR assisted collective pitch control using a scanning LIDAR device installed on the nacelle of a mid-scale research turbine. A nonlinear feedforward controller is extended by an adaptive filter to remove all uncorrelated frequencies of the wind speed measurement to avoid unnecessary control action. Positive effects on the rotor speed regulation as well as on tower, blade and shaft loads have been observed in the case that the previous measured correlation and timing between the wind preview and the turbine reaction are accomplish. The feedforward controller had negative impact, whenmore »« less
