System for the monitoring of the wind incidence angle and the control of the wind turbine

摘要

A wind turbine (100) including a control system and at least one wind turbine blade (108) having a pressure measurement system (200) is disclosed. The pressure measurement system (200) includes a pressure probe (300) that provides a measurement of inflow angle to the control system. The control system adjusts the blade pitch angle of the at least one turbine blade (108) in response to the inflow angle measurement to improve energy capture. The pressure probe (300) is mounted by a probe support structure (302) at a predetermined position from the leading edge (201) of the at least one wind turbine blade (108).
