Feng, Z. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author), Liu, Y. (author)Wind turbines may experience local weather perturbation, which is not taken into account by the commonly-used wind turbine simulation packages. Without this information, it is extremely challenging to evaluate the controller performance with regard to the effect of the variation of local atmospheric conditions. On the other side, it is too...conference paper 2023

Liu, Y. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Individual pitch control (IPC) is a well-known approach to reduce blade loads on wind turbines. Although very effective, IPC usually requires high levels of actuator activities, which significantly increases the pitch actuator duty cycle (ADC). This will subsequently result in an increase of the wear on the bearings of the blades and a decrease...journal article 2022
