WIND TURBINE NOISE AND FATIGUE CONTROL

摘要

Embodiments of wind turbine control systems, and related methods, are disclosed herein. For example, a wind turbine control system may include: a measurement system, including one or more measurement devices disposed on a blade of a wind turbine, to generate a measurement signal representative of a response of the blade to turbulence or flow non-uniformity; a force generation system to generate lift proximate to a trailing edge of the blade by generating a blowing jet of air at the trailing edge of the blade in response to a control signal; and a controller device to generate the control signal, based at least in part on the measurement signal, for provision to the force generation system to reduce the response of the blade to turbulence or flow non-uniformity. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

1. A wind turbine control system, comprising:
a measurement system, including one or more measurement devices disposed on a blade of a wind turbine, to generate a measurement signal representative of a force on the blade or a speed of a portion of the blade indicative of a response of the blade to turbulence or flow non-uniformity; a force generation system to generate lift proximate to a trailing edge of the blade by generating a blowing jet of air at the trailing edge of the blade in response to a control signal; and a controller device, coupled with the measurement device and the force generation system, to generate the control signal, based at least in part on the measurement signal, for provision to the force generation system to reduce the response of the blade to turbulence or flow non-uniformity.
