Look-Ahead Cyclic Pitch Control Using LIDAR
نویسندگان
چکیده
LIDAR (Light detection and ranging) systems are able to provide preview information of wind disturbances at various distances in front of wind turbines. This information can be used to improve the control of wind turbines. This paper compares a predictive feedforward control structure combined with common PI controllers to a baseline controller and to an H∞ approach showing the advantage of look-ahead control to reduce wind turbine loads. The control design is verified by simulations with a turbulent wind field and a full nonlinear model of the wind turbine.

Load Analysis of Look-ahead Collective Pitch Control Using Lidar
Nacelle based LIDAR (Light detection and ranging) systems provide preview information of wind disturbances at various distances in front of a wind turbine. Preliminary work towards this objective [1] has shown that the predictive knowledge of the rotor effective wind speed can be used to improve the speed regulation by a predictive feedforward update to the collective pitch feedback controller,...
متن کامل9 Lidars and wind turbine control – Part 1
In recent years lidar technology found its way into wind energy. The main application is still the site assessment, but the possibility to optimize the energy production and reduce the loads by nacelle or spinner based lidar systems is becoming an important issue. In terms of control the inflowing wind field is the main disturbance to the wind turbine and most of the wind turbine control is des...
متن کاملFlatness-based Feedforward Control of Wind Turbines Using Lidar
Current lidar technology is offering a promising opportunity to take a fresh look at wind turbine control. This work evaluates a flatness-based feedforward approach, that allows to calculate the control action based on trajectories of the rotor speed and tower motion using wind measurements. The trajectories are planned online considering actuator constrains to regulate the rotor speed and mini...

متن کاملField Testing of Feedforward Collective Pitch Control on the CART2 Using a Nacelle-Based Lidar Scanner
This work presents the first results from a field test to proof the concept of LIDAR assisted collective pitch control using a scanning LIDAR device installed on the nacelle of a research turbine. The purpose of the campaign was to show that a reduction of rotor speed variation is feasible with a feedforward update without changing the feedback controller. Although only a small amount of data c...
