Abstract

The estimation of the rotor effective wind speed is used in modern wind turbines to provide advanced power and load control capabilities. However, with the ever increasing rotor sizes, the wind field over the rotor surface shows a higher degree of spatial variation. A single effective wind speed estimation therefore limits the attainable levels of load mitigation, and the estimation of the blade effective wind speed (BEWS) might present opportunities for improved load control. This letter introduces two novel BEWS estimator approaches: a proportional-integral-notch (PIN) estimator based on individual blade load measurements, and a Coleman estimator targeting the estimation in the nonrotating frame. Given the seeming disparities between these two estimators, the objective of this letter is to analyze the similarities between the approaches. It is shown that the PIN estimator, which is equivalent to the diagonal form of the Coleman estimator, is a simple but effective method to estimate the BEWS. The Coleman estimator, which takes the coupling effects between individual blades into account, shows a more well-behaved transient response than the PIN estimator.
