AUTONOMOUS YAW CONTROL FOR A WIND TURBINE |
| 摘要 |
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for autonomous yaw control of a wind turbine. The method includes measuring, via a wind sensor, one or more wind conditions near the wind turbine. Another step includes receiving, via a distributed inputs and outputs (I/O) module, the one or more wind conditions from the wind sensor. The method also includes determining, via the distributed I/O module, a control signal for a yaw drive mechanism of the wind turbine as a function of the one or more wind conditions. Further, the yaw drive mechanism is configured to modify an orientation of a nacelle of the wind turbine. Thus, the method also includes controlling, via the distributed I/O module, the yaw drive mechanism based on the control signal. |

1. A method for autonomous yaw control of a wind turbine, the method comprising:
measuring, via a wind sensor, one or more wind conditions near the wind turbine; receiving, via a distributed inputs and outputs (I/O) module, the one or more wind conditions from the wind sensor; determining, via the distributed I/O module, a control signal for a yaw drive mechanism of the wind turbine as a function of the one or more wind conditions, the yaw drive mechanism configured to modify an orientation of a nacelle of the wind turbine; and, controlling, via the distributed I/O module, the yaw drive mechanism based on the control signal. |
