<p>A control system may be used for rotor blade control. The control system comprises a number of turbulence sensors provided across the surface of a wind turbine blade. The control system monitors the turbulence sensors and when turbulent airflow is detected controls an aerodynamic parameter of the blades. In one embodiment, the parameter is the pitch of the rotor blades. This means that stall-like blade conditions can be avoided, and power generation from the wind turbine can be optimized. The control system may also use measurements of output power to be considered in combination with the turbulence based measurements to add a higher level of responsiveness and precise control.</p> |
